    Firms like that are a result of the bullshit degrees that get handed out a universities these days. People that leave Uni with things like Gender Studies degrees have to create work for themselves somehow.

    @No-Quarter Sad but true. At college when Ms Cato No1 had flunked her course and was considering a different "journey". Her tutor advised me to avoid anything that had the word "studies" in it as it was felt that they were invariably doss courses.

    Apologies to anyone out there that might get triggered by this assertion.

    Ha! That's why I don't even have a degree. I started on one that would have ended up being called 'Social Sciences' and I couldn't see how on earth that was going to help me more than actually going into the world and doing things. so I quit.

    It pisses me off that I live in a world where this is considered a viable career.

    It pisses me off even more that someone actually pays someone to do this. Again, the energy drink company apologised for any perceived slight but that still isn't enough for those whinging fluffybunnies.

    Even as 18yo old drunken idiots, I think everybody in every university realised at the time that "Business Studies" was the first useless/"designed for idiots with too-much-money/not-enough-IQ" degree.

    The only thing that pisses me off is I don't have a slice of that action, talk about money for jam . All you have to do is keep an eye on product launches and celebs idiot utterances quietly notify anyone who might be outraged and offer whoever fucked up your services smoothing things over . I offered to do the same thing in reverse with Mokeys books ( set up a Christian group, announce they are scandalous and full of sex. Loads of free publicity in the press when I call for them to be banned) sadly she's yet to take me up on it.

    I'm fucked if I know, apparently it's acceptable to mock the way he looks but film a video with an Irish theme to it and you're the fluffybunny in this situation. Or it could be an elaborate piss take that went over my head

    This notion of cultural appropriation is bat shit crazy. It's insane that so-called educated people would even acknowledge it.

    There was some arseclown a while back at the black something or other awards wanking on about cultural appropriation. That fact he was doing so while wearing a suit a speaking in English obviously went right over his demented head. Apparently white rappers are only permitted to rap if they have a "ghetto pass", whatever the fuck that is.

    Can you imagine the furore if kids with Somali or Pakistani backgrounds in Norway weren't allowed to wear the Viking horns because they weren't the correct culture? Or Indians weren't allowed to play cricket because they were stealing an English game? Do you think that Bavarians give a shit about the worldwide appropriation of Oktoberfest?

    As I said. Bat shit fucking insane.

    Yup, if anyone mentions the term "cultural appropriation" to me in a serious manner my respect for them falls through the floor. Just about the dumbest term the SJWs have come up with, and that's saying something because they've come out with some fucking retarded shit the last couple of years.

    Guess I'm a racist ?

    Stuff

    I found that Damon Salesa had a very reasoned view on the reasons behind the segregation that the article doesn't even touch. If you haven't watched the video I would recommend you do.

    I grew up in Onehunga in the 70s and it was a multi-cultural suburb, where young families could afford to buy or afford to rent. This meant my neighbours, school mates and team mates where from all spectrum of NZ and Auckland society. Interaction and familiarity between different cultures and socio-economic groups leads to understanding and long term friendships, regardless if your parents were meat workers, government employees, Doctors or Lawyers. Having this interaction at a young age makes the differences disappear and things become normal. You would only reject others if they were dick heads not because of their background or culture.

    Is this the case today? I don't know as I haven't lived in NZ for almost 20 years. @Virgil , what are your experiences that would self label (sarcastically) as racist?

    My dad's a Kraut so I'm culturally sound. You cannot believe how triggered I get when I see a Bavarian beer café or schnitzel in a supermarket. It's racist I tell you. A cultural holocaust!
