What can we do?

Quoted from Vance Warner

Surprise, surprise. A load of white privileged males suggesting that political correctness is a greater threat to society than racism.

White privileged ?
We’re all from Grimsby , we’ve hardly had it on a plate 😂

Quoted from Chrisblor

Gammons out in force on here today I see. Disgusting levels of intolerance.

I object most strongly to this characterisation. I am not a racist. Some of my best friends are white.

That is the best way to deal with this crap - just mock them. The rest of us just get on with our lives the best we can but these people are obsessed.

Which bit of his comment is wrong?

Racism is abhorrent but as 'threats to society' go, if you delve into the hidden evils behind the shutting down of freedom of speech under the flowery guise of political correctness then yes it probably is greater.

And I'm sorry is absolutely every person of a white background 'privelaged'? I'd call such sweeping generalisations reverse racism, but apparently anything against white people is fair game under the Liberal agenda.

Sounds like millennial snowflakey tosh to me, Grimsby is a deprived area where most people are working class and scraping by, many in poverty or barely above most their lives... But there skin is white so they all privelaged scum who need to shut up. Ridiculous.

Kingston, the Biased Broadcasting Cabal have received bucketloads from the EU, your claim is a nonsense. There was even meant to be a government enquiry - whatever happened to that I don't know, probably brushed under the carpet.

I'm surprised this little fact passed you by as apparently so well informed and we Brexiteers so bloody dumb.

Sorry to go non-football folks, the Establishment stitch up and cover ups rile me greatly.

Steady on. You’ve made a lot of assumptions there. Definitely not a millennial and don’t really know what a snowflake is. As for telling people to shut up I’d love to know how you got that. We all know Grimsby’s problems but it’s all relative. We live in one of the richest countries in the world (for now) and the fact that the country is so unequal is purely down to the establishment not some made up ‘liberal agenda.’

Fine, I'll ignore the fact you've rudely called me a Tosser and break it down to you then. This is a thread full of old intolerant white blokes moaning about issues which in no way materially affect their lives:

Female and black pundits - some are very good and there's tons of awful white male pundits still on TV?

Irritation about not being able to use 'homosexual' in a derogatory manner - use a different word then, there's tons of alternative swear words to choose from. Many people find this phrase offensive owing to the way it has been used historically as a slur to describe gay people

"Political Correctness" - Asking people to avoid referring to others in a discriminatory manner isn't political correctness, it's politeness. Why would you want to continue using phrases which specific minorities find offensive?

Coverage of women's football in the media - Last time I checked the volume of press, TV and radio coverage still massively favours the men's game. Some people like and are interested in women's football. If you aren't then just ignore it instead of moaning like a big baby about it apparently preventing you from somehow consuming the enormous amount of coverage mens football still receives.

All minor issues, and if they're the things that you get most worked up about in life then it suggests to me you are, as I initially suggested, incredibly privileged, incredibly intolerant, and lack an ability to empathise with people who may not have had a similar life to your own.

That Spectator (hello, 'kettle calling pot black' alert) article itself admits the money is chicken feed. Absoutely not going to influence any editorial content. Hardly bucketloads in the scheme of things. Or does 0.8% count as 'bucketloads'?

The EDM link doesn't work by the way.
