@Virgil The points you raise are discussed in the video. Those without financial power have less choices to interact with other socio-economic groups or cultural groups. I was just interested why you think you are racist
Sorry @dK was a throw away sarcastic remark, due to the fact I almost never visit some of the areas mentioned in that article

In the name of progress, Harvard University will segregate graduation ceremonies based on race.
I wonder how black you have to be. Would a black great grandfather mean you have to join the black ceremony or could you sneak into the other one?
I'm pretty sure the remaining handful of white supremacists will be totally on board with this idea. Well done Harvard.

Within my lifetime the world looked on with scorn as the US establishment tried to enforce and justify segregation at schools and universities. I never thought I'd live to see the day when the legatees of Martin Luther King would demand it comes back.

Ed Sheeren , guilty of cultural appropriation. Oh the shame.
How can a pasty ginger of Irish descent be accused of "cultural appropriation" from the Irish?
If SJWs have taught us anything it's that a "cultural appropriation" may only be made by a person afflicted with white privilege from a non-white person. Are the Irish making a cultural appropriation of cultural appropriation itself? Fuck knows. This concept moves so quickly.

MLK was the first thing that came into my mind when I read this. I still vividly remember first learning about him in primary school. Made a massive impression on me, particularly the line in his speech that people should be "judged not by the colour of their skin, but their content of their character". Now it's all about race, race and more race. It's becoming positively tribal.
Seriously, wtf is going on?

He is guilty of some of the most god awful music known to man. He's friends with Polly Gillespie and he's a ranga with shit tatts. His new song has an Irish fiddle. Fuck off you sappy fluffybunny.
Justin Beiber is less shit then he is.
I despise him utterly.

This is glorious. Did you know the term 'adulting' that you see in those cute facebook meme's and in edgy articles is actually sexist? Well read away and learn the ways of the world my friends:
The word 'adulting' is gross. It's also sexist, says Lenny letter editor
Young women are just afraid to be public about their actual achievements because if their public persona is self-assured, they are also perceived to be less likable.
What is actually glorious is the reaction to it on facebook. I don't want to sound too optimistic but it kinda looks like people are starting to wake up to this nonsense.
This comment sums up my hope
"My spirit is infinitely bouyed by the unanimous repudiation throughout the comments section of this utter tripe. Ironically, an utterly divisive piece seems to have brought people from differing ideologies together in opposition to its stupidity. A rare win on the internet"That and one of my leftist friend whom I engage with politically from time to time trying to wear her down with logic also commented about how crap it was. I'm taking that as a very small victory.

I'm quoting this poetry. Excellent (although the Beiber thing might be pushing it, Sheeran at least strikes me as the kind of guy you could have a beer with).
I said could

When I'm choosing the soundtrack for when I end up in hell it'd be Beiber over Sheeran.
Ridiculous but true.

The 'cultural advisors' are nothing but money grubbing scum. All about meeting after meeting with exorbitant hourly rates plus fully catered meals, travel costs etc etc.
They don't do jack shit, and very often do NOT represent the thoughts of local iwi/hapu, nor do they have the authority to make decisions.
It's a fucking disgusting gravy train.

@mariner4life Sheeran strikes me as a more talented 'musician' than Beeber too.
Agree on the beer front, although I would have a beer with most cnuts on here, so I'm not fussy

@taniwharugby i really like beer

not sure what the point of this was, doesn't seem like it was a travel story, which it should be without the bummer story!

I doubt Bieber drinks beer and if he does it's probably the sort of overpriced low volume obscure stuff @MN5 likes so they might have more in common than he thinks.
He looks more like a barcadi breeder fan to me

I reckon he'd drink anything as long as it's expensive and it can be licked out of the small of a model's back
