Seeing as there's just been a thread about stats is this racism.
It's a massive yes from me.
And the Mods on there love him.

My question was ( 3 times ) in response to what Darran originally said. |
He didn't seem to want to answer you so I thought I would. I know you don't like to be ignored. |  |

Literally everyone in the world is a racist these days. |
Yep , we all have our prejudices, problem lies with how racism's shifting definition effects whether these prejudices are deemed so. Also, context is important always. |  |

Well, I've now looked in to that Enid Blyton book: The Three Golliwogs is a book about three friendly golliwogs that discover an abandoned house in the woods and move in.
Lets hope Anne didn't knock on their door looking for Dick ! |
And she was with Timmy the dog! |  |

Thing about Anthony is that he can't help getting his knickers in a twist over Darran. It's the classic 'reply to the post not the poster' scenario.
Anyhow, if you take the Svastika as an example most would say it's a symbol of the extreme facist right and in my opinion they'd be correct even though it's an ancient symbol of peace that's been used in Hinduism and Buddhism amongst other religions and didn't become the symbol we perceive it as until Hitler's mob knicked it.
Therefore it is safe to conclude that a Golliwog is being used as a racist statement by that idiot on that other site which was run by a paediatrician.

It's two yesses from me.
Was in Downtown Vegas yesterday and passed a bar with a notice "No Coloreds". I know it was probably retro but not really in good taste😔 |
Is White a color ? |  |

The racial connotations were always there by design it's just that at the time of publishing those views were accepted and encouraged. I don't have kids but if I did I wouldn't let them anywhere near Enid Blyton without at least first explaining the context of the era in which those books were published. I read a lot of Blyton as a kid myself, as did all my siblings. |
Me too.
My favourite was the Magic Faraway Tree. |  |

Strange how nobody is hugely offended by this? Perhaps it's because it's just a doll? | |

The Dam Busters was on TV the other day. In this film the man who leads the raid has got a dog and the dog is called N****r
This dog and his name was in the film several times. I won't say the N word myself in case I'm called a racist.
I did some research and apparantley it was a shade of brown and that word was later high jacked by racist people. It appears the same thing happened with the golliwog. Neither are racist it's just that some racists use the N word and in the case of the golliwog the PC brigade hijacked it and tried to convince everyone it was racist when nothing was actually further from the truth.
As for Enid Blyton being racist I have no idea so I shall take your words for it |  | | |
