The reality is that Lord Sugar would have been called out on that since the 80s.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.
The "they all look the same" line hasn't suddenly become racist since the invention of the internet.
Meanwhile let's tick off some MODERN defences.
"Liberal Lefties" tick
"Political Correctness" tick
"Offended on behalf of others" tick
"Snowflake" tick
