As long as he is Villa.

I did consider throwing that into the mix. What if the white, churchgoing Tory was Villa, and the black, atheist socialist was a a bluenose? Terrible dilemma. I think I'd have to object to both, and ask her to choose again.

The important thing is you get to pay for everything so every cloud.

There's a US tutor who does racism awareness seminars for white people. She started doing them in the UK, but had to stop as over here we simply didn't accept what was being taught and got bogged down in debates that Americans wouldn't view as anything but racist.

Edit

That kinda thing.

What a **** Karen

I would be concerned if my daughter said she was marrying a practicing Muslim. Exactly the same as I would if she was marrying a practicing Catholic, Jehovah's Witness, Mormon, etc. That's not racism, that's my well-known antipathy to religion. If the choice was between her marrying a black, socialist atheist or a white, churchgoing Tory, I'd favour the black guy all day long. 

 

Amen brother, last thing you need is some religious son of a bitch in your life. Judge first, ask questions later.

Mooney is right, nothing to do with skin colour or racism but the stigma of the religion oppressing women is hard to shake, I cant imagine many of us wouldn't have a tinge of apprehension if their daughter said they were dating a practicing Muslim followed by sadness should she turn up in a head scarf

Ah yes, now you put it like that, I can see non religious people have actually always had nothing but respect and Absolute equality for women.

My bad.

Got the foundations there for a fairly decent joke, just need another  race and or religion, possibly a Chinese catholic priest Albion fan and a socially unacceptable punchline that was acceptable 30 years ago (whilst all in a room together)

Someone has done a Venn diagram of people that expressed concern the BLM protests could spread covid and people cheering the pubs reopening.

 

Its our patriotic duty.

Listened to radio 4 this morning for the first time in ages (had an early drive to site and it was a bit too early for some bangin’ tunes).

They were basically really really excited about pub Christmas, all but counting down how many sleeps it was ‘til ‘spoons.

I'm really missing going back to the pub, but I won't be for at least a few weeks after they open. If they reopen for a while and the infection rate keeps dropping, I'll go back, but it seems unnecessarily risky.

I'll just break the law and have some mates over for some socially distanced garden beer instead.

I don't know, I feel like I'd take umbrage with that assumption. I consider myself a practicing Muslim as well as a feminist. If I married someone and she turns up in a scarf, it would only be of her own volition, (like most women who wear the scarf), of course after converting of her own volition.

You’re wrong you weird mental bastard.

We don’t know you, but rest assured you’ve been judged.

I'm sure id get my head around it in the same way that my daughter gets her head around it but in that 1st instant I'll admit I wouldn't like it, I would assume the worst
