Thanks to Alan who sent me these ages ago. They’re from a forum thread discussing “Woman’s Hour”. Let’s laugh at the racist.

I find in homes and garden an item on a ’sherpa’ gardner, in fashion and beauty an item on the paisley shawl design (what a great opportunity for the BBC to promote the view that evrything British was introduced by immigrants *laugh*), ‘work’ has a feature on ethnic minority women. Food, surprisingly one has to go back a year and a half to find ‘Diwali sweets’ although they managed to introduce a more recent Islamic food item with ‘Fruits of the Maji’ in the run up to Christmas! Dont worry I am sure another one will be coming up very soon! There are several ‘Islamic’ items in the history and art sections under ‘Treasures of the British Museum’ - again the BBC focuses on what Britain has ‘borrowed’ (everything is thanks to immigrants and foreigners blah blah blah)

Others failed to find the same bias in the show but she has an answer to everything.

I havent had time to spend going through the entire archives as she has done, since I am not paid to do so, but as I pointed out she is taking a very ‘narrow’ view of what constitutes ‘Asian items’ looking only at thos ewhich are overtly Asian, while I include the more subtle ways the BBC tries to get its message across, such as the earlier discussed paisley shawl issue

This is one of my favourites, from the 5Live forum.

<<My father could have TB.>>

And how has he caught it?

Just in the last few weeks I have been alert to immigrants who are coughing a lot, and have noticed there seem to be a disproprotionate number who do! yikes [...]

Yikes! Let’s hope they don’t roll you up in a carpet and whisk you off to Arabia to be one of the Sultan’s wives!!

    This coughing… is it a special terrorist signal cough, or are they infecting us with their filthy forrun diseases?

    We must be told!

    Can I wrap up a fresh wet shit in a paisley shawl, set in ablaze on her doorstep, ring the bell and leg it?

    From Chambers;
    shawl, noun, a large single piece of fabric used to cover the head or shoulders or to wrap a baby.
    ETYMOLOGY: 17c: from Persian shal.

    Though obviously the Paisley ones are all born and bred in the UK.

    I have made a helpful list of things that Britain has “borrowed” from other countries:

    All of flaminglittle’s DNA
    The language (and yes, I suspect the singular is highly appropriate) that flaminglittle speaks
    Any diamonds or gold that flaminglittle might be wearing
    Any religions that aren’t druidism which flaminglittle might practice
    Any “national dish” that involves tomatoes or potatoes which flaminglittle may enjoy preparing or consuming
    The British Royal Family of which I’m pretty certain flaminglittle has commemorative porcelain wall trinkets
    The placename of the delightfully twee village in which flaminglittle shelters her delicate little life from the vagaries of the modern world
    The owner of whichever right-wing newspaper she cares to learn her morals from

    In fact as far as I can tell the only genuinely aboriginal thing that can be attributed to flaminglittle is her false sense of empirical superiority over the brown people.

    Bugger, don’t know why I put “flaminglittle” up there every time I meant to put “flaminggreen.” Sorry.

    On the subject of “African population growth fuels environmental disaster”

    Aid should be tied to acceptance of a tight birth control progamme.

    However we in the UK should be controlling our population growth too. A Briton (or an African or Eastern european who moves to Britain), is many times more damaging to the environment than one who remains in Africa (or even in Poland).

    What?

    So all Britons should remain in Africa? That’ll sort out the environment.

    The BBC’s message on immigrants is appalling. Next they’ll be telling us that England was founded by the French, or that our royal family’s German!

    Good plan - and when she answers, I’ll jump out with the knife :-D

    Of course, googling ‘flamingreen’ quickly reveals a world of such delusional fuckwittery that it is difficult to comprehend:

    Apparently immigrants are responsible for obesity because they open takeaways thus creating more choices of junkfood for the population to eat, so if they weren’t there we’d eat less junk food and all be thinner.

    What I like is that even the HYSers on the Five Live boards have taken to asking her to back up her insane opinion-based arguments. When even HYS refuses to believe a statistic you’ve pulled from your arse, you know you’re in trouble.

    GASP! Coughing forruners, must be TB!

    I want to use the woman’s face as toilet paper.

  15. on 25 Jun 2008 at 2:09 pm 6000

    Far be it from me to piss on the parade of SYB, but as a TB researcher, I have to say in that last case (and that case only) the correspondent may actually have a bit of a point. GASP!
    Far beyond 95% of the TB in UK is amongst immigrants, mainly from the Asian sub-continent.

    Still, it really doesn’t make up for the rest of the Mugabage that flaminggreen serves us up.
    Or for the fact that her dad probably has a bit of a cough from his 60-a-day habit.
    And I bet he smokes too.

    “There are several ‘Islamic’ items in the history and art sections under ‘Treasures of the British Museum’”

    I love it. What are ‘Islamic’ items doing in the British museum in the first place I ask you?

    Anyone would think we HAD stolen (sorry, borrowed) them.

    Would this, I wonder, be in relation to FG suddenly learning that the Paisley pattern is in fact Persian, as is the word ’shawl’?

  18. on 25 Jun 2008 at 3:04 pm philbert

    I’d like to propose “Paisley shawl” as a new euphemism for those thin blue plastic bags that you always see fluttering in trees and hedges.

  19. on 25 Jun 2008 at 3:52 pm Ulster says NO.

    Utter bollocks - everyone knows that Paisley if from Norn Iron, or was it somewhere in Scotland. certainly not Islamland at any rate.

    Pfft - they’ll be saying that bungalows are from india next.

  20. on 25 Jun 2008 at 3:55 pm Ulster says NO

    Oops - typos, must be this bluddy forren keyboard getting subversive on me - I did, of course, mean ‘Paisley is from NI’ not ‘if’ and India not india.

  21. on 25 Jun 2008 at 4:23 pm Alex

    Is it still attempted rape if Ulster says ‘no’?

  22. on 25 Jun 2008 at 10:02 pm Humph!

    Is it still rape if Ulster bellows ‘NEVER! NEVER! NEVER!’ very very very loudly and slowly.

  23. on 25 Jun 2008 at 10:04 pm Humph!

    Coughing Immigrants! No she’s right. It’s not called the white death, is it?

  24. on 25 Jun 2008 at 10:11 pm Humph!

    BTW…

    I hope everyone saw the guilty verdict for the White-Power, Neo-Nazi bomb-maker from Goole. Apparently he’d got some ‘14 words’ quote over and over in all his dairies that he thought was his call to arms. It was this, “We must secure the existence of our race and the future for white children.”

    He’d also got 36,000 photos of child pornography.

    (funny how when a ‘home-grown forrenuh’ makes a bomb we go mental. When a white guy does it, it’s on page 12. Odd that.)

    No, 6000, she hasn’t got anything like a tiny bit of a point. According to the Health Protection Agency, there are roughly 8000 cases of TB reported in Britain every year. About one for every 7,500 people. Flamingreen must have pretty fucking acute hearing to identify the one dirty furren TB cough in amongst all that racket. Or maybe she’s just a mad racist cunt. I hope you’re not employing similar methods in your research, as you may well get marked down when you hand it in.

    howfar - not everyone who reads this site is a filfy student. I gave up those days long ago.
    Anyway, I’m doing my reseach in South Africa, so I can’t be at all racist, because no-one in South Africa is racist. We all live together in perfect racial harmony.
    Just like the UK, in fact.

    I know sYb isn’t big on following up stories, but this one is worth it.
    One thing that would really cheer me up in the morning, it would be finding out that flamingreens dad had popped his clogs.

    Also what’s with the declarations of course and place of education in some posters names? Personally I am using it as a useful filter to ignore the possibly pretentious but is that truely its purpose?

    “The use of the immigrant question tag ‘innit’ to replace the huge variety of question tags eg dont we, cant they, didnt he etc that are used in standard english.”

    Silly me, I always thought it was a contraction of ‘isn’t it’, use by the young ‘uns to alienate/annoy adults, innit?

    “Competition from black athletes has made it increasingly difficult for ethnic British people to break through to higher levels in many sports, while undoubtedly raising the overall standard. Football is one example.”

    Apparently they’ve all got massive dicks too.

    and to top it off;

    “The National curriculum which is no longer based on British culture but has ‘to reflect the multicultural nature of our society ‘ Examples W.B. Yeats gets replaced with Benjamin Zephaniah… ”

    Now I’m not sure which school she went to, but in mine I was taught that YEATS WAS FUCKING IRISH.

    (and Zephaniah is a Brummie)

    Now I feel like I’m defending the racist bitch, but the particular use of “innit” in Asian British English, as a parallel to the Hindi tag word “haina” is certainly argued for by those who are not foaming loons. The things that this cockatrice’s fantasy gash fails to recognise is that this is another potentially great development in the language we laughably call “English”. The modern use of “innit” doesn’t mean “isn’t it”, but more broadly signals that a question has been asked. For example, when dealing with a shoplifter, I once heard a shop owner use, “Call the police, innit?”

    It’s extremely useful and fun to say, and I will be pushing strongly for its normalisation and inclusion in the National Curriculum.

    Like ‘eh?’ or ‘ok?’ or ‘right?’ then.

  33. on 26 Jun 2008 at 2:19 pm howfar

    Very close. I don’t think I’m doing a very good job of pinning down the way it is used, actually. In the usage that I have experienced it, “innit” emphasises the presence of question while also requesting affirmation. So in that sense “innit” is probably closer to “…non?” in French, or “nonne…” in Latin. So it is a marker, an emphasiser and a negative interrogative all rolled into one. It’s all much more complex than that, but I’m not a linguist, innit?
