[News] Alan Sugar in the sh*t !!

[BBassic]

Old white man makes vaguely racist "joke" on globally public platform. Why are we even surprised by this?

 

[alfredmizen]

Found some rare film footage of Bushy being interviewed...



PS: Alf, that's what it's like to be cast as a stereotype I guess. Even I don't believe you can't see the racist implications of Sugar's post. You're just fishing with a poisonous rod.

couldnt give a shit that youre supposedly stereotyping me with this bloke , genuinely couldnt are less .

Piara Powar, executive director of anti-racism group Fare (Football Against Racism in Europe), said Lord Sugar's "stereotyping of a whole race" was "disgraceful and damaging".

"Alan Sugar has deliberately and with racist intent sought to demean a World Cup football team," Powar said.

Right, what the hell is up with your keyboard? Doesn't it have an apostrophe key?

He's also an apostrophist.

Stereotypes exist for a reason, whether based upon race, creed, colour, sexuality, politics, geography, history, religion or whatever. It does not make anything 'ist', unless you like to be offended of course?

I'm well aware of why stereotypes exist - they're lazy shorthand. I don't think they're worth perpetuating, unless you have another agenda of course?

And your insinuation that I like to be offended is ludicrous.

How many times do genuine football fans get annoyed by being stereotyped and treated like they're hooligans? Or every person from Brighton must be a homosexual. Same stereotyping.

in my experience no body particularly gives a shit. Unless its on here when people just seem to get upset on behalf of people who wouldn't even get offended.

I blame the Green Party!

I think people give a shit when you can't go in a pub, or get herded in some direction you didn't want to go, or can't get on a particular train just because you're a football fan.

I accept that’s a price we sometimes pay, don’t like it but what can I do about it? Doesn’t happen that often these days either.

Or watch the match while supping a pint.

That's his media career down the pan , no more Apprentice for a start . To paraphrase someone 'You're FIRED'

Of course you couldn't.

 

[Weststander]

Let me guess, you don’t think it’s racist

Let me guess, he is pleased, as a Jewish person might face a backlash.

I was outraged once when a black person said to me "don't stay out in the sun too long as you might get sun burn"

NSC's gain is the comedy circuit's loss.

really ? give mr an example.

So a twitter user shouts racist when someone makes a joke about a football team selling sunglasses and handbags on a football pitch in a photo promotion, and then compliments them on their multi tasking and resourcefulness. suddeny twitter and NSC goes into meltdown? This joke would work whatever the colour of the players are.

Sadly we live in an age where being offended on other peoples behalf is fashionable, rather than listen to the people at the end of a smart comment who haven’t even expressed that they feel racially abused. In fact all he did was help the promotion of their sunglasses and handbag range, and the accusations of being a racist has promoted them even further.
