I can’t think of a suitable title for this nom, so I’ll have to leave it with the admins – sorry!
Anyway, I get so sick and tired of reading online interviews with BAME sportspeople, celebs, tv & movie stars etc., and that inevitably the conversation will move to that hoary old chestnut “racism”.
It doesn’t matter if the interview is talking about nuclear physics, how to make a cupcake, how to to fix frozen carbs on a Kawasaki ZZR600 or flower arranging, you can bet your bottom dollar the interviewer will somehow move the convo onto the Big R, with such inane questions as:-
“Did you suffer racism at school/cookery classes/bike garage/science lab?”
“How did you feel about being the only BAME?”
“Do you think you didn’t get the qualifications/promotions you thought you deserved because you’re a BAME?”
“Do you still suffer prejudice?”
blah blah blah….
It’s as if the interviewer just wants to stir the shit in order to get a reaction in the comments section. He’s not really bothered about what the interviewee has got to say on anything else, that’s all surplus to requirements – padding, in other words. But just make damned sure we dig out the same tired old tropes because it’s trending and so right on with the wokes!
And in some cases the BAME being interviewed will try and steer the conversation back to the actual purpose of the interview because quite often they have no political agenda or social axe to grind on this occasion.
But no, that doesn’t sit right! As far as the interviewer is concerned no one is really interested if this person is good at flower arranging. Just so long as everyone knows he suffered racism at some point, then that’s all that matters!
Which means a bit of temporary kudos for the interviewer among the wokes; and the interviewee left looking like an ungrateful but bullied cunt shoved under the spotlight as yet another “colonial victim”, even though it was never his intent to do so.
