I'm just going to some he's an unrepentant Zionist based on The Dictator alone.

[–] hotspur@hexbear.net 5 points 15 hours ago

I think it’s a confirmed fact at this point

[–] PowerCrazy@lemmy.ml 2 points 16 hours ago

He is definitely a zionist.

I don’t think it’s that deep. Ali g has been a thing since the 90s and is satire on British sub culture..

Being racist for a long time doesn't make you less racist

[–] Bassman27@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

What exactly about it is racist?

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 0 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

You can't possibly be in good faith asking why minstrel shows are racist.

[–] Bassman27@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

He’s not wearing blackface and obviously portraying a white boy who wants to be black. Not sure that hits the definition of a minstrel show

I'm not doing a racist impression, I'm doing a an impression of something that just looks exactly like a racist impression where the humor comes entirely from racist stereotypes.

[–] Bassman27@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

So the large population of white males who act this way are just racists?

Are they doing an impression with racist stereotypes and providing a safe politically correct way to mock black people? Then yes. If not, probably still yes because they're british crackers

Do you really have to ask if white Brits are racist?

[–] Bassman27@lemmy.world 0 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

No not every white British person is racist. So do you want to answer my question?

Ok, sure, not literally every single one, but the ones that emulate black stereotypes definitely aren't particularly of that tiny minority.
