Peter, have you ever been accosted by students in this manner, or are all the

Did you get as far as 1:05?

Quite sure if the Prof had just chinned her nobody would take issue.

Hmm. Not quite sure you understand how this stuff works, tbh.

Hold on soldier, I am Irish and by nature of your statement I have taken offence at your insinuation that Irish people are stupid and cannot grasp a simple principle.

You see, I fully understand how this stuff works. A two day Appreciating Ethnic Minorities course for you.

Pal.

You're disgusting. You disgust me. This is not a debate. You dont get a choice.

Yeah, I think he could have told them to **** right off and grow the hell up. His patience is admirable.

It's because they're customers now as much as they're students. They have to be pandered to rather than told to just fùcking get a grip.

THe customer element has been the case in the US for years. THis is just another example of PC bull****.

To be fair, it seems to have sprung from him refusing to ask students not to black up for Halloween so one could argue there is an issue there somewhere. What is disturbing is the notion that one is not even entitled to voice an opinion. There IS no debate; you DONT get to have an opinion. This is accepted fact.

THat is very, very worrying.

It's not real blacking up, though, is it? It's not boot black on the face and singing 'Mammy' blacking up. It's dressing up as red injuns, which everyone did when they were kids.

Besides which, who cares about injuns?

Native Americans I think you will find B.

Perhaps. I think the real point is that if you are going to allow 'offensive' to be defined as anything that might annoy, irritate or upset any individual then it is going to be impossible to create a rule for people to follow. You would have to outlaw pretty much everything, just on the off chance.

So, sorry, but it IS a debate. It cant not be.

To paraphrase a quote I read recently in connection with antifa: There are two types of Fascists. Fascists, and anti-Fascists.
