"I see the Guardian are doing their bit for race relations today! #pritiPatel I guess it's ok 'cos she's a Tory right? Why is it racist? Would they have made a caricature of a non Asian to look like a "sacred cow"? I doubt it. " A sacred cow? I doubt they would insult a religion that believes cows are sacred in this way. Could you provide the link in question. Aa long as it's a news link then it will be accepted by the forum mods. Thanks | |||

"I can honestly say that I've encountered more racism on here from posters on here who have indicated a left wing bias than those on the right. When I call them out on it they have responded by sending offensive PMs telling me how all their black friends don't think they're racist and that I, as a black person, am wrong. I questioned one "right wing" self-identified person and I received a PM with an apology and a well-reasoned explanation. I have found in life that bare are basically two types of racists. "Honest" racists will shout slurs in the street. These are easy to deal with by ignoring them and carrying on walking. Then there are the "ignorant" racists who are just totally unaware how deep their racism is ingrained. These are the ones who, without fail on this site, identify as "left-wingers"."

If you cannot be tempered in your response I suggest you reevaluate your usage of virtual forums such as these. No offence was intended at all but you tried to be offensive. Shame on you. | |||

Only cartoon I can find is 4 days old Patel with Boris also as a bull but it's not today so dunno if that's what you're bleating about. If it is then do you find Boris as a bull racist too? | |||

"I'm still waiting for someone to explain why it was racist " There seems to be quite a lack of cultural empathy on this thread, but I will try to answer your question. It is about iconography. Many cultures and religions venerate symbols, whether they be script or pictures. Deliberate, or even unintended unimplied insult to those icons would be offensive to some of that culture. Are you offended by the swastika? Same thing. It's what it represents. What if the Chief Rabbi, or a leading Imam was portrayed as a pig? I'm sure you read about Charlie Hebdo in 2015 where 12 people were shot and killed as a result of the magazine printing a picture of Mohammed. Just a picture. Whether Priti Patel is offended by this, I don't know. She is a British born British-Indian from a Hindu background. Whether she still adheres to her religion of birth, I don't, but much of her family probably still does. To use the image of a bovine to lampoon her seems either deliberate, or extremely ignorant. Whichever, it's culturally insensitive. It may also be racist, depending on which of the millions of definitions of racism you believe in. | |||

It's not whether the icon is good or bad, it's using it incorrectly that's the problem. The swastika was originally a symbol of divinity and spirituality in the Hindu religion, but it was taken by the Nazis, used incorrectly and now it's offensive to many. The British Tamil conservatives have said ‘This cartoon is offensive on every level. – It’s anti-Hindu. It portrays the Home Secretary, of Hindu origin as a cow. A sacred symbol for Hindus. – Its racist and – misogynist. It’s plainly unacceptable! It may constitute a hate crime.’ There are several hundred thousand of them. Is that enough for you to overcome your bigotry? | |||

So many twisted knickers it's unbelievable
So on what level of pantie crotch twisting wails of racism is the cartoon of Boris as a bull? "I'm not offended, outraged nor do I have my knickers in a twist about it. The question was asked whether people thought the cartoon was racist. I looked at it and answered the question yes. The question was then asked why people thought it might be racist so I answered that too. It seems to me that the people getting their collective knickers in a twist about this are those vehemently arguing that there's nothing racist here. Maybe they've been educated at the Jeremy Corbyn School of Cultural Sensitivity in Art as they seem to be showing very similar attitudes to his attitude towards a very racist mural. | |||

"Priti Patel's grandparents were all Indians. They moved to Uganda in the 60s. So her family heritage is all Hindus. Whether she practices Hinduism is another question. I am born in a Hindu family. I am not religious myself. But I can speak for Hinduism on this topic. As other people have mentioned here, cow is sacred for Hindus. Even most non-vegetarian Hindus don't eat beef. Except for a very small group of hardcore Hindutva fanatics/politicians, Hindus don't really take offense on cartoons about cows. Journalists in India often make cartoons about this stuff. I actually find the Hindus to be much more mature in this aspect. The guardian cartoon doesn't seem to be focused on her Hindu heritage. The message they are conveying is different. But knowingly or unknowingly, they made a big mistake here. Even if Hindus don't give a damn about it, politicians are using it well against them. This is just my take on this specific matter. Otherwise, my opinion of the guardian is that it is just a piece of left wing crap that claims to be fighting for equality and justice but in truth they just try to appease "some sections" of society who they love more than others. Remember the Animal Farm line - All animals are equal but some are more equal than others. I see that people are asking them to apologise. I would be surprised if they did. After all, it is not the "religion of peace" that shoots journalists for drawing cartoons." Quite so. | |||

"you do know that priti patel's family were Ugandan-Asian if you are going to claim something is racist...least get the part of the world right... or did the OP put 2 and 2 together.... saw the word "patel"... and make a particular assumption....
The OP is not remotely offended I can assure you
He does however seem to have a fetish for posting this kind of thread while he sits back to observe people falling over themselves to see which one of them can take the prize for being the least racist
They usually win this prize by inventing things to be offended about and then pointing the finger at anyone who isn't as equally offended as they are
I would probably find it mildly amusing if only it didnt detract so much from the real issues we should be worrying about "Like how many views your profile gets? | |||
