More “Victim” Politics

Following on from the tosser who thinks that apologising for the actions of long dead people is a jolly fine thing to do, the furtherance of “victim” politics continues apace in my home town.

A seven-year-old black boy has been withdrawn from a school play by his mother after he was cast as a monkey.

Lorraine Rees took her son, Myles, out of the production of An Enchanted Island, accusing Ashley Down Infant School in Bristol of racism.

My first reaction on hearing this story on the local news was that it was, in all likelihood, something silly being blown out of all proportion. Surely, in this day and age, a school would not be so daft as to start that old “black people are like monkeys” stuff? I was predictably correct:

Myles Rees was cast as a monkey, alongside one other black pupil and three white boys.

That’s right – the monkeys in the play include three white boys alongside the two black ones. So, as I suspected, it was something silly being blown out of all proportion. Mrs Rees is doing what the professional race-hate whingers always do; she is seeking out slights where none exist and making a song and dance to draw attention to herself and her victimhood. People like her complain because complaining justifies their cause and they have to have a cause. They are, after all, “victims” of the “oppressors”. Being treated equally alongside others in the community (which, frankly, is the reality) just doesn’t cut it – that would mean that they are not “victims” and the horrible white people are not “oppressors”. Which is odd, because Mr Rees is white; but, then, there are plenty of white people who hate their own culture to the point of constantly pointing out racism where no racism exists. Look at the egregious Andrew Hawkins and his vacuous apology in the Gambia.

Mother-of-four Mrs Rees, 39, made an official complaint to the school, saying: “Everyone is aware of the racist connotations of asking a black pupil to play a monkey.”

And the racist connotations of asking white boys to play monkeys? What utter fucking nonsense! It’s a school play for crying out loud. There is no racist connotation, only Mrs Rees’ stupid over-inflated imagination seeing bogeymen behind every corner.  SARI are all too willing to enable this stupid, petty complaint as it justifies their existence:

Batook Pandya, director of Sari, said there was no suggestion of deliberate racism, but questioned the “sensitivity” of the casting.

Of course there was no suggestion of deliberate racism. There was no fucking racism, deliberate or otherwise; just Mrs Rees and her “victim” status. Batook Pandya should have told her to grow the fuck up and stop being a stupid bint. Oh, dear, this is getting to be a habit… Still it isn’t a likely scenario even if it does bring a brief glow to the cockles of the imagination. :devil:

The Telegraph has a further quote from Batook Pandya:

The parent involved is a very sensible lady and I do not think she is over-reacting.

Over reacting is exactly what she is doing.

I am hopeful we can come to an amicable solution.

Yes; tell her to grow the fuck up… oh, never mind….

It’s about time we stopped being “sensitive” and started realising that the world is a rough and ready place. Having had this pseudo “sensitivity” rammed down my throat for most of my adult life, I confess, I’m tired of it. I’ve stopped being “sensitive”. This is a frivolous complaint about a slight that does not exist and Mrs Rees is playing to the gallery for all she is worth. Will people stop applauding her, please? If we ignore these stupid people and their imagined slights; perhaps, just perhaps; she and her ilk might get the message and stop…

One hopes.
