Race-Obsessed UK Media Play BAME Game!

Wow!

Did you know – indeed, would you have given a tinker’s cuss had you known – that ‘last year, the British music industry was urged to stop using the “outdated and offensive” term, ‘ BAME?

Well, now Brits are learning that their TV output is also to be subjected to an identical diktat, emanating from an august body calling itself –

‘the Sir Lenny Henry Centre for Media Diversity.’

…

Hmmm.. I thought Lenny Henry was a comedian!

Oh, I forgot!

Black Power’ Play At BBC? 

No longer!

For evidently BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5, taking this guff seriously, have ‘welcomed the findings!’

The report concluded there “was a lack of trust” around the term BAME.

Yeah, because most normal people, if they even feel a need to talk about others in terms of race, simply use plain English, white and coloured!

NB  – Normal folk see no need for that PC gibberish ‘people of colour!

Will TV viewers get to vote on the in-crowd’s repackaging of how the news is served up?

Of course not!

No need, because the LH researchers interviewed ‘journalists, academics and focus groups! ‘

Very democratic!

Skip the hacks and intellectuals, pinko creeps all, I bet!

But WHO served in those ‘focus groups?’

.

Were they representative of the viewing population?

You’d imagine they should be, since we’re all equal, and in the case of the BBC…

.

.

…the license-money shamelessly coerced is levied indiscriminately on white and coloured people alike

And after all, the conclusion was that ‘the collective term had been “used to hide failings in the representation of specific ethnic groups”.

So there was fair representation of boring old whiteys on the ‘focus groups?’

I suspect not, but would be happy if corrected.

The main media whine seems to be that ‘BAME’ concealed the wide variety of non-whites, e.g. negroes, Arabs, orientals, South Asians ( eg Indians and Pakistanis and Bengalis, etc.)

News bulletins may take longer than before!

But how about the many types of whites?

.

Red-headed Celts, blonde Norse sorts, olive-skinned Meds and those with distinctive Slav features.

Aaah, but who gives that tinker’s cuss about them?
