It's full of hyperbolic rhetoric that is quite simply factually incorrect.

Saying "Of course, the term “racist” has now been evacuated of meaning, since it is now an empty smear hurled at anyone who falls foul of the left, or who has been associated in any way with anyone who has fallen foul of the left." is absolute fvcking nonsense whichever way you slice it.

Won't be reading the 260 odd preceding comments but for anyone interested, Melanie Philips probably summed up how many of us feel about the whole debacle..

https://www.melaniephillips.com/deep-bigotry-screaming-racism/

----------------------------------------------------------------------

That's an absolutely ridiculous piece of writing.

Piers Morgan levels of stupid.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

i.e. you disagree with it
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Nope.

It's actually stupid.

She is taking everything in a literal sense because she's too stupid to understand the concept of subconscious bias and prejudice.

And she's also just outright lying about things to base her flawed points on.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

subconscious bias and prejudice?

You mean assumed racism ?

The world really has gone cuckoo !

"They are saying, in effect, that because the duchess is of mixed race she is to be regarded as beyond all criticism."

It's hard to pick out the worst parts but this is diabolical.

How is it nonsense?

Surely you agree that if a word is inappropriately used repeatedly then the result of which, is that the word itself starts to lose meaning. That's not a contentious claim.

You'd have to argue that the term racist is always appropriately applied - and that, to steal a phrase from you.. nonsense whichever way you slice it

----------------------------------------------------------------------

It might offend you but it doesn't make it wrong.

The very fact that many of those who did criticise the Duchess were branded as racists means that Melanie is correct.

It doesn't offend me and it is wrong.

No one has said or implied this. This is her inventing things to base her ridiculous opinion on.

I don't assume racism when someone criticises people of mixed race.

I'd argue anyone that does, is beyond help.

"I don't assume racism when someone criticises people of mixed race."

Nor do I.

And the fact your friend Melanie says they do doesn't make it so.

It's nonsense that "anyone who falls foul of the left" is smeared with the word racism.

Absolute bollox and personally I'd be ashamed to be associated with such a piece. It's laughable.

There is something quite amusing about middle class white people complaining about social injustice.

People are stupid.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Absolutely, nail on the head.

The reason Melanie doesn't see the effects of subconscious bias and prejudice is because she doesn't live with it.

It's not hard to find the examples. You'd have to bury your head not to have seen/read them.

The Duchess' friend (Jessica Mulroney) has been all over the news making the claim.

The actress Jameela Jamil (who appeared as one of the Vogue trailblazers) also said the criticisms of the Duchess were "rooted in racism".

Priyanka Chopra also belived racism to be behind the criticism of the Duchess.

I'm sorry but this nonsense has to be called out. It's ludicrous discourse.

It's not a marginalised news story pal.

I can find an example of a Tory fvcking a pig in the face.

It does work across the board that all Tories fvck pigs in the face (although it would not surprise me).

I wonder how some manage to dress themselves tbh.

No. Melanie says that those who defend the Duchess from such criticisms are using her race to absolve her from criticism.

It's not difficult.

Are you saying that the 'left' doesn't use race, gender and class as regular playing cards ?
