I Am Tired Of Political Correctness

When a classic family film such as Mary Poppins is branded as racist you have to start wondering what the PC brigade will be jumping on next.

Apparently showing scenes of chimney sweeps with soot on their faces is now considered as racist.

I read about this in Italy. A new totalitarian cencorship, mind and thought police is being born and it looks to me JUST as sinister as the Nazi Fascist and Communist regimes.
If putting soot on ones face is regarded as racist then we are heading towards a society where you need a written consent to even think, express or fucking do anything like say "hi" to a woman without being regarded as a rapist.

@liondog The Daily Mail article is opportunistic , inflammatory and sensationalist ..... much like just about everything else that finds its way into that reactionary rag.

The original article doesn't 'brand Mary Poppins as racist' at all , it just points up a bit of a theme through the author's novels and gives it historical context. It's actually quite a thoughtful and informative piece. You can read it here ; https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/28/movies/mary-poppins-returns-blackface.html

I knew I was a racist when I saw the grease I got on my face while working under my truck. Once I washed it off, I knew I was privileged.
