It has come to this. That is a pretty racist statement to make.

I guess Luther needs to drink Colt 45s and listen to rap too.

I’m so racist. When I watched Luther, I only saw a detective.

And smoke Newports or Kools.
To be fair, he’s a Brit, so it shouldn’t be Colt 45 or my smokes, but their ghetto equivalent.

This is the level of stupid you get when you hire low IQ people to become more ‘diverse’

I did too. I love Luther. He was a man. Thank God they made it before the diversity nut came along.

So much for Idris ever being James Bond.
Idris isn’t Denzel, but he’s a good, solid actor.

Is working at the BBC considered black enough?

“TV detective Luther ‘isn’t black enough to be real’ because ‘he doesn’t have any black friends and doesn’t eat any Caribbean food’.”
A racist and stereotyping attitude.

2019 = Racial tropes are racist.
2021 = Racial tropes are anti-racist.
I’m not saying the Klan is behind all this, but if it turns out they are, what has happened the last 24-months sure makes a whole lot more sense.

And the amusing thing is.....
If he had black friends and ate Caribbean food, they would have screamed racist stereotyping! 😱
Just no winning with these lunatics.

They compartmentalize everyone into their own solitary “group” based on skin color, ethnic origin, and preference of perversion, and then complain about stereotypes. It boggles my mind as to how theirs must work.

Today’s Beeb saying that it’s not diverse enough is like saying water isn’t wet enough.
