[Misc] PC comes to Strictly

[Icy Gull]

Wife’s must watch Saturday programme which I vaguely pay attention to.

I was SHOCKED to hear when singing along in my head to the Santana song Oye Como Va to find they had changed Mulata to Chiquita

WTF? Mulata is a word in Spanish meaning a woman with one white and one black (I genuinely don’t know the current acceptable term) parent. What’s the problem? I doubt any none Spanish speaking Brits even know the word.
Anyone care to explain how the word Mulata is offensive and needs changing?

What's the problem? Well, I would say you had nailed it with the first bit of your thread title!

" Strictly " is an absolute shitefest of bollocks, there is no audience allowed due to social distancing yet the squeals and whooping have been ramped up to almost intolerable levels..... there's NO ONE ****in there but that ****in squealing !!!!!!

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Take it's for wimin

It is indeed but I confess to being quite impressed by some of the celebs dancing, I dip in and out mostly out though. Proper luvviefest mostly.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

I agree entirely with your first sentence which is why I’m unable to comment on the rest of your post.

Oh I say, well played.

 

[Icy Gull]

Worth watching just for Bill Bailey, absolutely awesome tonight

 

[ManOfSussex]

Javier Hernandez was a good squad player for Man Utd and West Ham (and it was a nice goal at The Amex in August of last year) but Strictly Come Dancing honouring him is a bit much.

 

[vegster]

Sounds like there is a pack of Hyena's in there, the ****ing racket is awful... but, there's no one there ?

 

[BN9 BHA]

[Frutos]

I think Shirley has been a bit OTT with her scoring, HRVY (me either) definitely wasn't worth a 10 and I'm not entirely convinced Bill Bailey was either.

Anton Du Beke's usual second-rate Bruce Forsyth impression isn't doing it for me either.

 

[Si Gull]

Mulata/Mulato are more commonly used as offensive terms these days, I guess that's why it was changed.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Mrs BN9 is watching this, I’m listening to The Cure with headphones on, I’ve just remembered why I usually go out drinking ( watching football) on a Saturday and forget to come home.

I am imagining a Spanish Football forum, where a person is complaining about "Half Caste" being substituted in a song being played on a celebrity dance program on telly.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Oh I say, well played.

Is that what she says?
