Can a white person transition into a black person.

Not in Holland, at Christmas , apparently. It offends the white liberals.

There is no such law, because we are all the same race, the human race

Tell me more about the EA 2010 and the law's view on race(s)

English and Scottish are not races therefore the abuse was not racist.

How easy is that to understand?

That's ok then, so when the polish and Romanian say they are racially abused, it can't be because they aren't a race...

I'm sorry, I like to think I'm a liberal minded person, but for me some of this is going too far. Watch from 1 min 10 secs, btw these are genuine clips. If this is the way meeting intros and first time engagement with others is going, god help us all ...

This can't seriously be catching on?

It's all a bit barmy and 90% of people genuinely don't care, it seems to be a minority that are making a big deal out of it all, on both sides, whether it be homophobes, transphobes, racists, homosexuals, trans, people of colour etc.

It's litteraly becoming a bit of a literal nightmare and a strange direction for the world to go in. Keep banging on about equality etc, but then insist on being treated different.. it's all a bit contradictory.

Exactly - unless, of course, it was by someone of a different race.

The clue is in the word. What is your point? It is bleedin' obvious isn't it?



However, everyone nowadays immediately cries 'racist' for everything as it immediately shuts down any argument.

Tell me more about the restriction on white people describing themselves as black in Holland at Christmas, that offends anyone.

There is only one race, the human race.
The concept of different races among the human race is a left-over Victorian, out-of-date concept.

The rejection of race in science is now almost complete. In the end, we should embrace historian Barbara Fields’s succinct conclusion with respect to the plausibility of biological races: “Anyone who continues to believe in race as a physical attribute of individuals, despite the now commonplace disclaimers of biologists and geneticists, might as well also believe that Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the tooth fairy are real, and that the earth stands still while the sun moves.”

Any examples of that?
If it is as endemic as you claim (everyone, immediately, everything, immediately, any) you'll be able to present loads of examples.

He's a typical political Utuber, commenting on whatever he likes. He describes himself as a common-sense Conservative.
His business experience amounts to, wait for it, printing T-shirts.
Yet some people follow his political commentary with glee.
No doubt he makes more money from political Utubing than he did from printing T-shirts.

A hint, don't believe all you watch on Utube.

The story is true enough, although I will partly retract my cynicism. The rationale behind these type of intros (as reported by some staff that partake) is apparently to be more inclusive to those with visual challenges.

However one thing I'll never agree with, although I respect peoples right to do it, is someone announcing their preferred gender pronouns. I just don't get the need for it. If you're in a space where everyone is being respectful, why should they need to know anything else other than your name and designation (taking a business meeting or training course as examples)?

I need to know 'Hi, I'm Mike and I'm the project manager for this job.'

I don't need to know 'Hi, I'm Mike and I'm the project manager for this job. My preferred pronouns are he/him.'

p.s. please don't insult people by saying not to believe everything we see whether on YT or elsewhere

I'm sure if people are believing everything they see on Utube, they'll probably not be aware when they're being insulted.

I will grant you this, AnglePoise, you are very adept at phrasing your drool such that you can, when challenged, continually respond that you didn't say/show me where I said it. It's clever. All empty, but clever.

But if there were any truth in the allegations, the accuser must know surely, where the accusation stems from.
If it's just nonsense and deceitful allegations, I have every right, and justification to ask for an example of such alleged incidents.
So it's not my adept phraseology, but it's the allegations that are empty and false, but not clever.

So to support your allegation, please present an incident that resembles your allegation.
