LOVE ISLAND 18 ❤️🏝 - keep it lighthearted for the love of

New thread!

Is it racist to only be attracted to certain races? You can't help who you're attracted to, just like people can be attracted to only tall people, certain hair colours, body shapes etc.

It was taken out of context but looks very unfortunate
What does this even mean? What context was it said in then?

Don't think it was taken out of context at all

Dicky so what are you saying? :/

It was taken out of context because it makes her look racist, when she was actually taking about preference. There's no way I believe she is racist.

Amber may like mixed race guys but not black guys, I’m mixed race, im not black, I wish people would stop insisting mixed race people are black 🙄 she made the tweet and I don’t see how it was taken out of context at all she literally said exactly that. She could have said “you’re not my type” no need to say she doesn’t like black guys

Is it racist to only be attracted to certain races
Nobody is saying that, except maybe the poster above who is furiously trying to deny Amber said it, even though Amber herself confirmed it and gave an excuse as to why she feels that way.

So do you think she's racist then Red?

If I didnt fancy someone because they reminded me of my dad, I would say he reminded me of my dad.

Not 'I dont like white men'

I cant connect the intention with the statement.

Is this why Micheal kept saying 'I am not Amber's type'?

I wish people would stop insisting mixed race people are black 🙄

It's very tedious isn't it? Like the poster last thread who asked which one Danny was, black or white. I pointed out there is literally only one black guy in there so the question was ridiculous and it was disingenuous of her to be outraged that there was nothing wrong with what she had asked, and I'm glad it got deleted.

Why would she have been with Michael who is mixed race and has black relatives if she's racist? :/

True, Protein

It's not tedious as it didn't happen. Unless someone can quote where someone insisted that mixed race equals black? I missed it.

Give it a rest Sagradafamiliar. You know nothing about colourism in the black community so i suggest you keep out if it.

I just can't see how this series is going to pick up. There's only one real couple that could win it, Tommy and MM. Anna and Jordan won't as the public don't like Anna (mainly) and a lot of people are losing interest in Anton now he's with Belle. I think the only serious competition could arise from Michael doing a Tommy Fury style 580 degree turn, winning Amber back and being so smooth about it he falls back into the public's good graces, and the chances of that happening are slim to none. Even if he regrets choosing Joanna he'd be too stubborn to admit it imo.

You know nothing about me but you've given me a laugh!
I remember your comments on Yewande on previous threads btw so sit down.

That was to dick

Read the last few pages of the last thread for people conflating black with mixed race.

Have done. Quote it.

You sit down. Being offended on others' behalf is as tedious as it can be when you know nothing.

How I feel about this thread right now

Ooh I didn’t know that @Dickybow321 thank you! I’ll give up haha I do think they have a lovely friendship though and get along really well it’s very natural unlike some of the friendships which seem forced.

Not sure which pp said about her being with Michael but Michael isn’t black so not relevant.

Laughable. I will not agree with a narrative which says that Amber, a mixed race woman, is racist.
Micheal is mixed race with black heritage, fact. I refuse to believe that mixed race people are somehow 'let off' by racists on account of having a white parent. Case in point, the endlessly zapped racist Meghan markle threads.

@Sagradafamiliar I believe @Dickybow321 is referring to the aggressive poster who appeared from nowhere and asked if Danny was black or white and tried to justify it. There’s only one black male islander so it was a ridiculous statement to make. Michael, Jordan & Danny are not black.

That's right louise but she quoted another poster saying someone insisted that mixed race= black. It didn't happen. My point about Michael is that he is mixed race himself and she would have black in-laws if she stayed with him. If she was racist she would've pied him from the start!
