Mary Poppins is a racist

Do you not read much news? This was widely reported and pretty much anyone with a news app on their phone would have seen it among the couple of dozen other stories that appear on their feed.
The original article was a piece in the New York Times and has been reported by the Independent, the mirror, the standard, the Daily Fail, MSN etc...
The question is more why is the New York times doing so, the metro and a bunch of other newspapers/media outlets are doing so because the story got a lot of attention... of course in doing so they're also feeding this attention themselves. I guess on one hand perhaps SJW gender studies professors don't deserve that sort of attention on the other hand when they're bat **** crazy views on stuff like this get exposed and mocked it is also reassuring that society hasn't gone too crazy with the whole identity politics stuff.

Grrrr,
This thread is full of people saying "He" and "His"
Have they identified as male? No! so please STOP. How many times do you all need telling. We're in 2019 now everyone!
I don't think a black face is anything to be ashamed of is it? ok, before anyone thinks....the answer is No. You get that one for free.
Remember the white woman (verified) on this morning who wanted to be black?
So, let's all carry on and be nice shall we. Don't asume someones gender by their looks! nor someones colour by their colour. You could be black, but not black....or white but not white.
and on the subject of Mary Poppins being a racist....we'll if that person wants to be a racist then that's their choice.
How's that GD? Marks out of 10 please

Amazing, i ******* hate you. Have you considered a career in politics?
I have actually. I'm a master of doing a lot of talking, whilst not actually saying much of anything. Yet, when there's two people arguing with each other, I can enter the debate and somehow argue the case in a way that both people think I'm agreeing with them. It's an art.

I think you've found your calling, go forth to Westminster my son!
Why would anyone want to have news apps on their phones/tablets? Their stuff is full of trash.
Why would I want to know what they do? Sorry, why would I want to know about opinionated journalism. I don't watch or scour news. As it's full of trash.
You're missing the broader point I was making about being sucked into wasting thoughts about ridiculous things. Mostly negatively framed things as well.

I'm just surprised that **** Van **** hasn't been hounded into changing his name yet.
Well you voiced and opinion on them being full of trash, it seems a bit silly to have an opinion about something you know very little about, it sort of makes the opinion utterly worthless.
So you don't read any news at all? Because it is trash? How do you find out whats going on in the word/the UK etc.. forum posts and social media or something?
Anyway, though it might seem like an alien concept, some people do like to keep themselves informed and having newspapers and other sources available on tablets, phones etc.. is rather useful in that respect.
You commented on whether he actively sought out such things and commented on potential effects on his mental health.
I'm pouting out that you don't need to actively seek out these things, merely keeping yourself informed by reading a variety of mainstream news sources will expose you to them as per the publications I emanated previously that have featured the story. You're commenting on the thread yourself so I'm not sure you're in any position to talk about being sucked into things given that all the OP is doing is commenting too, albeit on the story rather than some meta discussion.
OK. Thanks for sharing your views. FYI I didn't click the link.
The story reminds me of an Ali G sketch were he went to the Welsh coal mines, and being shown around a museum he looked at the wall display and said "Why is it mainly the brothers working down here?" The guy said "brothers", Ali G "yea, the black man.. isn't that a bit racialist?"
