[Commenting on the BBC series Bonekickers]
Vile anti-white racist rubbish in which the bad guys are English, and the heroes are multicultural archaeological super-people. Why on earth would any white person watch it?

I hate the show too, but that's because I think it's rubbish; badly written and badly acted. Not because it's somehow racist against white people.
I think the reasons why I hate the show can be summed up with this quote from the main female character:
[in response to another character asking her basically what's going on]
"Use your archeological imagination."
What does that even mean?! How about instead of using my imagination I use the scientific method and find out for certain what is actually happening. Fuck off, just fuck off.
Wait so having two black people and two white people is multicultural now? Where is the inuit one! I DEMAND AN INUIT ARCHEOLOGICAL UBER MENSCH (or Uber Menschette... don't care) what about the Khmer? Why are there no Khmer in this!
Oh wait, he is complaining about the first episode where they do battle with some white christian fundie racist. What he does not realise is that everyone knows black people are super effective against white people... It has to do with their ability to jump. I would draw you a diagram... But I am a busy man...
"Why on earth would any white person watch it?"
Because they aren't racist. The fact that you where noticing their races and actions, instead of the actual show, proves that you're the racist one.
"Why on earth would any white person watch it?"
Because they consider it entertaining? This brings up philosophical questions. Why do why watch, read or experience anything? Why do we seek out, internally rate, and, strangely often, whine about entertainment?
...
I have a vague feeling I missed the point of this...
If everything where the bad guy was English was racist, that'd be...more things than I can think of. I doubt a show that's actually made IN ENGLAND is going to be casting all that many people that aren't English, anyway. What should they do, bring in foreign actors just so asshats like Tom don't complain? Then everyone else will.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
