Rosanne

I think when those folks were referring to colour, they did not mean make up. Smurfs need not get offended.

The clue (EFLI) is in the sentence prefix i.e. "race including colour....." There is no orange race.

I wouldn't deduce that.
Illegal to discriminate on grounds of "race including colour" seems quite obvious that discrimination on grounds of colour is included.
Their is also "ethnic origin".

Or "race including colour".
If discrimination includes colour, then it includes colour.

If you refuse to employ ginger people because they are ginger, then I think that would be equally discriminatory.

Anyway, saying a person's father was an orangutan or ape seems rather similar to me.
Equally rude but one is not allowed.

I am not defending Roseanne; she was stupid and should know better; just pointing out the logic and where we are in this modern world.
It's the same with men and women now.

Hair. The joke was about his hair colour.

Not really a racist joke in my book.


Only in Essex

I take great offence to that

I suppose when the imaginary 'orange race' has a long history of slavery, inequality and of general ****tyness at the hands of others who think they are the superior race then they are in a position to be offended.

However, until then I think it's fair to say which is a joke and which isn't.

Oh go chill out and have a beer on your sunbed.

Grins.

….more tiresome pedantic waffle....

You don't have to read it

 

[noseall]

You don't have to read it

How would I find out whether it was tiresome pedantic waffle or not?

Gotcha - EFLI = pedantic waffle.

They say Chinese are yellow ? I have never seen a yellow china man ??

They call US natives red indians ?? they do not look red to me ?

 

[EFLImpudence]

Following on from that, then, the lady who was the subject of Roseanne's 'joke' is definitely not black.

So, just an idiotic inappropriate tweet and, presumably - cannot be racist.

She's not white either. Come to think of it neither am I.

You need to ease down on the pedantry just for one night EFLI. It'll do you good.

I that allowed

You are a troll, you can do what pleases you.

I find that very racist

 

[IWalkLikeHimaMartian]

I find that very racist

I think that very silly comment proves that you do not understand racism.
Trolls have no nationality nor colour.
