The Hum Of Mental Feedback
Further to this item, here’s more news of diversity down under:
“I’m sorry, you can’t come here. It’s a multicultural playgroup.”
And so it’s not for the likes of you.

From the horse’s mouth.
Lets openly discriminate against the majority population; there’s no way that’s going to bite us in the ass.
I think you’re trying to be sarcastic, but where’s the ass-biting? Where are even the signs of impending ass-biting?
Lol. Funny how soon the second sentence disappears and we are left with “We’re in a pretty progressive area. But I feel like I’m excluded.”
Woah, hold back there Elizabeth. Stop and think before you charge in there with a prosecution! “On the face of it”, “would appear to be”, gung-ho stuff indeed!
Where are even the signs of impending ass-biting?
It’s not impending, but eventually, 20 or so years down the road, it will have results none of us are going to like.
results none of us are going to like.
To clarify: If you make racial discrimination acceptable against the majority, the majority will eventually lose it’s commitment to equality. No matter how you brand it, if it’s acceptable against me; it’s acceptable against you.
Such as the majority population becoming a minority population and then going the way of the Jews? That is, getting regularly oppressed and expelled for ill-defined crimes and accusations mostly revolving around supposed unfair success?
Try forming a whites-only playgroup then. Same day, same time.
Just be independently wealthy first, because any career you or your spouse have will be vaporized in a hurry.
“Can I ask what your cultural background is?”
Perhaps to facilitate this sort of thing going forward, the government could issue identification documents which contain a detailed ethnic history which can/must be produced on demand to any state official. Ethnicity and cultural backgrounds can be traced back several generations and various degrees of cultural purity described. Or, some sort of easily recognizable badge to be appended to clothing should be mandated. What could go wrong?
Bigotry is condoned as a corrective to so-called “white privilege”.
That.
This caught my eye:
You’d think that if the idea is to encourage social networking and a sense of being welcome, then balkanising those “multicultural” mothers – sparing them contact with the, as it were, natives – is a strange way to go about it. I don’t doubt that feeling isolated can be a real issue, which makes proficiency in English something of an imperative. And becoming proficient in English, or any second language, is generally much easier, and much quicker, if you interact with people who’ve spoken it from birth. Say, by chatting while your kids play.

David: Sorry about the failure to close with an end-italics HTML tag. Please let me know when I should report for correction.

The Scold-O-Mat 9000 is out the back being cleaned, unfortunately. There’s been a build-up of, shall we say, residue.

I denounce Italics Privilege.

Clothing can be changed. Better to go with something biometric, yet visible to the naked eye. Tattoos of some sort perhaps.

Quite so. We wouldn’t want someone to attempt to “pass” as some ethnicity or culture of which s/he was not a bona fide member.
Except it’s not “reverse” racism. It’s just racism.
It’s the same bigotry with different targets. No different than a “no coloreds” sign from the Jim Crow era laws.
The silly followers encounter the true endgame of their sinister leaders. Hilarity and denial ensue.

Stipulated that we have Mrs. Coverdale’s report second hand, but the article does give a whiff of virtue signaling on her part. The references to “inner city” and “diversity” are attempts to establish her progressive, “diverse” bona fides only for her to be smacked by the reality of identity politics. In progressive, “woke” circles, the only acceptable response is to know one’s place.
A minority cowing a majority into submission?
You mean like they did in South Africa? Or maybe how ISIS does it in the mid-East?
A fanatical minority can overwhelm a passive, meeker, or less-fanatical majority.
Don’t ever say it can’t happen here.
If they’ve got the weapons and the will, then minority coercion of a majority is perfectly possible.
See, Norman Conquest, Islamic conquests of Spain, Egypt, Syria (majority Christian till mediaeval times), most colonial settler states (British West Indies, South Africa, Rhodesia, Raj, Occupied France (WW2), etc.
… a whiff of virtue signaling on her part.
Quite the stench, actually. Why the need to inform us that the friend who first alerted her to the group is ‘Russian-born’? She’s a bit too keen to establish her GoodWhite credentials for my liking.
Quite the stench, actually.
I was trying to go for the English understatement to fit in. Alas, as an American, I failed miserably. Fortunately, the Scold-O-Mat is down for maintenance.
Are fathers allowed to bring their kids to the group? There’s a cute club for women only in NY that I’ve been wanting to send David and R Sherman to…
And this from New Zealand. Is it a parody?

I may need to borrow someone’s children, then. And a set of instructions. It’s my understanding that children are silent and self-cleaning.

Well, definitely granting that . . . Except it’s not “reverse” racism. It’s just racism.

There is the followup observation as well . . . quite instead of [assorted functionaries] were unavailable for comment . . , what does turn up is;

One will have to observe what greater results occur over time, but the racist demands for a filter do appear to have gotten quite thoroughly chomped on . . .
…I failed miserably.
Nonsense, but you’ve certainly got self-deprecation down to a tee. If only I could catch the barman’s eye, a Babycham would be yours.
. . . And a set of instructions. It’s my understanding that children are silent and self-cleaning.
Right, then. Here’re instructions.
Fletcher insisted it was exclusively for “multicultural” mothers who “might be lonely and might want to build a network of people who speak the same language.”
Isn’t this a little odd? All speaking the same language would seem to negate the ‘multi’ in ‘multicultural’. It’s a bit ambiguous, and could refer to several groups going full Balkan – weird enough in itself – but it reads to me like a progressive language shift whereby multicultural actually refers to monocultural-but-exotic.

Esperanto.
Or, when in doubt, there’s always Klingon or Vulcan . . .

It’s a reader suggestion to the site, not an official reporter. He’s getting reamed in the comments though.
I think he may either be very young or have chosen to use a pseudonym. His name appears nowhere on the web, which is unusual these days.

I said “Do you speak-a my language?”
There was I thinking my phone’s a piece of crap for texting garbage while in my pocket – turns out it’s actually fluent in Klingon or Vulcan (whichever that is, Sporkatus).
Klingon. “There’s nothing going on around here. There are no Klingons here”.
Klingon. “There’s nothing going on around here. There are no Klingons here”.
Ah, got it, you did drop something into a translator. The problem then does become dropping something right back in:
There is room to exist around here. There is nothing here, and Klingons
Taking the old classic; qaH william panties chagh, pagh loS, ‘ej jIH wej lunchtime., one winds up getting Sir william panties drop, or four, I am, and not yet lunchtime.
Definitely needing to grant more work to be done, but also rather expecting it will get done . . .
Drop something into a translator? Why, sir! I used my copy of the Klingon dictionary with only one syntactical change from example sentences. It is the online translator whose grasp of Klingon is lacking.
Not surprising, actually. Structure is rather different than English, to say the least.
