good to know this is the quality of our university professors and this is the sort of thing they'll be teaching/indoctrinating the students in. of course, student seem to be dumb ****s themselves, if any of the numerous recent examples are to go on.
Mary Poppins is a racist
- Thread starter LabR@t
- Start date
40, and educated well enough to know that Mary Poppins is not putting black stuff on her face in some epic show of racial hatred. I am also not a professor, yet I know this.

Years for Millennials
Other proposed dates for Millennials:
- According to Iconoclast, a consumer research firm, the first Millennials were born in 1978.
- Newsweek magazine reported that the Millennial generation was born between 1977 and 1994.
- In separate articles, the New York Times pegged the Millennials at 1976-1990 and 1978-1998.
- A Time magazine article placed the Millennials at 1980-2000.
And they should put Sean Connery on trial, for doing full-on yellow face in You Only Life Twice back in 1967

Does this mean that the BBC will not be repeating The Good Old Days anytime soon?

In one of my infamous Whitchurch pubs this last Saturday I had the pleasure of chatting to an ex Black and White Minstrel, 92 years young. He told me that people of over 50 show great interest in his career, whilst youngsters are often horrified and give him the third degree, almost with the wet towels and bright lights treatment. So he is selective to whom he reminisces these days. He told me what I assumed to be his brother was actually his gentleman friend and he was covertly gay in an age where admitting it would be dangerous. As he said, he's gone from a proud singing career but with his sexuality having to be hidden, through to an age where his sexuality is celebrated but his career shunned...A fascinating old gentleman, if I see him again I'll mention this Mary Poppins thread 
Yep its hilarious.
Do ignore it, don't call out the madness?
Not full time, I have a chimney I do sweep it.
I was more worried about getting anotherher source of dirt/, grime on my face
I'll agree with this. Reposting crap over the internet doesn't point and laugh at the original item, it just perpetuates the idiocy to a wider audience, fuelling the message.
E.g
In preinternet days if you saw a random lunatic ranting about total nonsense before in the street the chances are you'd cross the road and avoid them. These days the done thing is to post and repost about them which gives them exposure to a wider group of people....
I'm not sure it fuels it, if anything it exposes it to ridicule (which is partly the reason why some of these other publications have covered this New York Times piece).

The decision to star out SF yet allow the remainers to scream gammon left right and center at every brexit supporter, is the worst and most hypocritical mod decision ever made on this forum.

I very rarely see "Gammon" on here.
That other word was used in every other post

Why not just block the OP and/or don't read the thread. I mean were you unable to tell, from the thread title "Mary Poppins is a racist", that it was likely to be an article about some silly SJW claim?
