Sometimes the Daily Mail surprises me (like their Justice for Stephen Lawrence campaign).
This will hurt Johnson more than anything else in the national media tomorrow:

Then just say that. You can call her out for being anti-immigration (when her own parents were immigrants) without using a racial epithet. Again - I'm calling it hyprocrisy of the highest order after the amount of times that you've cried racism on here over the years.
You mentioned elsewhere that you agreed with her being called an "uncle Tom" too. Are there any terms that you think people shouldn't use about Priti Patel? Can I call her the 'P' word if I don't like her policy?
Either all forms of racist language are wrong or none of them are. If you want to decide which ones you think are acceptable, then you're part of the f**king problem.
2 fat hairy bikers telling the world how to diet.
Shoot me now.
The bulk of us have made no sacrifice. Most can now speak to parents or loved ones via Zoom etc.
There have been around 33k who’ve made tremendous sacrifices like letting loved ones die pretty much alone, or the full family of that 13 year old being unable to attend his funeral.
To most of us it’s two fingers up to the plebs. To those poor buggers it’s moments or opportunities they’ve been robbed of because they followed rules not instinct.
How can I possibly be missing your terrible point? You're saying that's it ok to use racist language as long as the person you're abusing did something you disagree with and the term you use relates to that. Priti Patel did something you disagree with so you can call her a coconut or an Uncle Tom. Have I undersood that correctly?
If that's your argument then you leave the scope so f**king wide for society to decide that we can use whatever language we want as long as it fits with the description of the actions of the person that we are abusing.
I repeat: Either all forms of racist language are wrong or none of them are. If you want to decide which ones you think are acceptable, then you're part of the f**king problem.
He raises a valid point. The P word is clearly offensive. The coconut jibe (henceforth known as "the other c word that isn't 4 letters") is also offensive. You have justified calling Patel a coconut because she has betrayed her roots (which are as British as yours and mine). Some people may see that as a strong offensive slur. Why, then is the P word more offensive for you, especially since someone could just as equally say "I called her that because she betrayed her roots"? You have to, at least, accept that the other c word that isn't 4 letters carries the same potential to offend someone as the P word.
Wait a second... I've been telling you for hours how I don't think it's ok to use the word 'coconut' in the context that you used it - yet you accuse me of thinking it would be okay the use the word '****'?!
You can f**k off, Adz. You lost the moral highground when you called Priti Patel a "coconut" - you racist c**t.
Disagree. There was colonialism and the legacy is still there. Some people in South Asia look up to white people and try so hard to be them by lightening their skins and changing their accents. Also many systems from colonialism, such as laws, still exist and they can be regressive (eg anti-LGBTQ laws and blasphemy laws). Not to mention the borders torn up that have caused civil issues. Anyway I digress with the last two sentences but point still stands
Because coconut is about actions and “paki” isn’t. **** is a word used to belittle Pakistanis (and other South Asians) and there was a term called ‘paki-bashing’ too. “Coconut” is used to call someone out for simply denying others the same opportunities that she and her parents had. It is synonymous with ‘hypocrite’ in this case and not used to say anything negative about white people
I didn't say white against black racism doesn't exist did I. I only said it can be prevalent between non-British races and creeds also, it isn't only a post colonial British trait by any means. Lots of races creeds and ethnic communities can have racist tendencies and do, whether they be white black brown yellow or any other colour that may be used to describe them.
But you are free to disagree if tha'ts what you honestly believe.
