Jolyon - not satisfied with telling women about gender now defines their ethnicity

[nettie434]

Tonight after Emma Raducanu's victory Jolyon has tweeted

When they're white the Express loves immigrants.

I am seething. She is very proud of her mixed heritage. Before the match, the commentary team were talking about how Emma and Laylah Fernandez both come from diverse backgrounds. But Jolyon doesn't bother to check any facts, just assumes she is white

What exactly has he achieved with his life so far??

Made lots of money helping people avoid tax.

He's a nincompoop isent he.

There's nothing wrong with talking about Emma's mixed heritage. It is what it is, it's interesting insofar as everybody's background is interesting once they are in the public eye, and of course it's mentioned in the press. The only person who has brought up race - aka skin colour - is Fox Killer. And the only reason he has done this is as some form of gotcha against the Daily Express. He's used an 18 year old CHILD in a political beef that is nothing to do with her, inevitably drawing her into a discussion about how brown/white her skin is, when absolutely nobody was talking about it in the first place.

Really? Don't remember the Express loving me when I lived there Jolyon. And you'd go snow blind looking at me.

What a strange thing to say. Still, now that she's won, he has the perfect opportunity to congratulate her fantastic achievement, apologise for not doing so in the first place, and either explain or correct himself, no?

He’s just so absolutely sure he’s on the correct side of history with every public comment he makes, isn’t he? You can feel the arrogance of every sentence.

@guinnessguzzler

Well, he did once beat a fox to death with a baseball bat, let's not forget that!

And continued to popularise the cultural appropriation of other races clothing.

What an embarrassment that man is.

Spot on. What a fucking disgusting thing to do.

It reminds me a bit of when Owen Jones didn't give a shit about JKR Rowling (in fact he slagged her off and said she made herself a 'martyr' as an abuse victim) and then the very next day used her to have a go at The Sun, who had put her abusers story on the front page.

These men don't give a fuck about women until they can use those women to advance their own profile and agenda.

Isn't the Express very pro-Brexit? Don't they support the pro-Brexit view that we should have more (mainly non-white) immigrants from the commonwealth and fewer (mainly white) immigrants from the EU?

If they were in favour of white immigrants why didn't they support remain and the immigration of white people from Europe?

I don’t understand why he wouldn’t quickly Google her before tweeting.

Because, for all that the concept of white male privilege is wildly misused, he is the living embodiment of it.

The important thing that people often miss about priviledge is that the largest component of this sort of bullet-proof arrogance is being soaked in wealth from your first breath.

Pure virtue signalling and I wasn’t buying it. What a stupid, shallow man with his private tennis courts
@FrancescaContini maybe he really meant "Staff are far too expensive around here. Do you know of a cheap Mexican groundsman?"

Quite possibly! Or perhaps his apparent anguish over the lack of racial diversity was to put feelers out to see if I was racist?? No idea.

He's a deeply unpleasant man. With a worrying history of using women and girls to promote his own bigoted political points.

I presume (and hope) he's not a parent.

Yep.

The Left intelligentsia considers their own ultra race-consciousness as non-racist, which is mindblowing. If articles don’t mention race (because it’s irrelevant to the majority of people?) it’s seen as proof they are irredeemably racist. There can be no way back from the spiral of impurity.

What does this man do other than cull foxes and troll on the internet?

That's its reputation, yes. However, it's no longer the reality:

There was a short feature on this on CNN Europe as well. They interviewed Leylah’s father, who is from Ecuador. Her mother is the daughter of Filipino immigrants. And of course, Emma’s mother is Chinese.

But, I suppose that just as this Maugham character seems to consider himself uniquely qualified to decide who’s female, he’s also uniquely qualified to decide who is white.

Someone responded: "She is a beautiful young woman - really pretty as well as amazing."

and Jolyon replied: "The choice of photo was also telling."

Am I missing something? The photo is one of Emma, a tennis player, standing on a tennis court, beaming proudly, holding a tennis racket.

What's ''telling''? The fuck is he on about?!

That's a funny way of saying "Congratulations Emma - what an incredible win"

I mean there are so many amazing things about her story - didn't drop a set, came back after her troubles at Wimbledon, had only been training part time whilst doing her A-levels - yet instead he just uses her as a tool in his vendetta against a newspaper he dislikes. Soo woke Jolyon.

Adil Ray's been making a few point-scoring tweets too. Why we can't we just enjoy the success of what seems to be a likeable, well-adjusted 18 year old? Hope she's allowed to just focus on playing without various activist types and groups trying to bag her for their own interests.
