Remember reality is an illusion caused by a lack of alcohol .
I have never claimed to be an expert and certainly never claimed to be a big businessman. What a crock of shit.
When I worked at the University as a student support worker I was self employed on quite a modest wage when I work for newspapers as a freelance correspondent again self employed, film maker, photographer all self employed but as a carer as well I am never going to be rich. Its not even complicated, I have worked as a laborer, decorator etc too again self employed. I am not the feckless lazy twat you wish I was.
Given the craziness of the post, if interpreted in the way the majority have, and Baker's standing I just can't believe he meant any racist intent at all. Even the most idiotic of racists with a couple of hundred followers would think twice about posting that on Twitter let alone a public figure who works for the BBC.
If she wasn't mixed race it wouldn't be an issue and I didn't know myself till late last year she was mixed race when I saw her mother (don't pay much attention to royals or watch weddings etc). I'd watched Suits from the start and just though she was a classy, olive skinned bird who was worth one.
Would be interested to see if that image has been used before by others on twitter for a different intent.
The only other thing I could think of is the time the post went on - was it late at night when he could have had a skinful and was hating life ?? Not that it has to be late at night to have a skinful but just a thought
Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate
I have not called you a liar. I simply asked for some evidence or an anecdote. For instance, I have seen some racism in that some comedians did the 'blackface' thing on TV here. Personally I don't think it is a big deal, but then I don't care about political correctness. But in day to day life, and I encounter hundreds of people each week, I do not see much racism. In fact there is a lot of respect for foreign things such as in music, football and what have you. My favorite player today is Muslim and my favorite fighter is of course James Toney and Asian women are hot. You want me to be racist because I have views on immigration and don't ignore data relating to crime, IQ, and athletic prowess. Everybody is an individual and you will get exceptional and less exceptional people in any group. If that is racist, then so be it, but you are obsessed with it.
Now it's white racists married to Asian women along with men who have black grandparents? You appear to be wanting to extend it to everyone is a racist just as everyone according to the left is far right. It's frankly ridiculous and you know it.
Of course anyone can be racist.. Duh. And you don't see much racism because you live in a country that is not very racially diverse. I don't want you to be racist Miles you just keep making incredibly hard not to draw those conclusions.
So, what is this incredible racism going on down there in Plymouth?
I don't really mind if anyone thinks I am racist or not. I am quite comfortable with my mindset and know that I am not. However, I will defend science unless it can be proven wrong. I am not a flat earther type. In saying that though you treat everybody as an individual and accept that not everyone is the worst of any group and most are somewhere in the middle or rather good. It's human nature.
I genuinely think that Danny did not mean to be racist, only he would really know the truth and he admits he has been stupid. However ignorance should not be a defence and he really should know better.
I think some disciplinary action should have been taken but I would have given him a final written warning but really it is at the discretion of his employers and with the racist hate going against the royal couple BBC would have been complicit if they took no action at all.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
After the first paragraph I was all for giving you a like, but the second paragraph is bollocks.
Of course the twat should’ve been sacked.
I don’t think Danny Baker is a racist. But I do think that he is an arrogant, unfunny twat that hasn’t been funny for over 20 years. And in his desperate attempt to “make a gag, ba doom tish” , he didn’t think and he fucked up!
Yeah as soon as it was pointed out, he took it down.... too fucking late. He deserves the sack for his ignorance and stupidity.
And then typically he tries to deflect it on the beeb. “The way they did It , they threw me under a bus, the old farts in suits throwing daggers, blah blah!”
Take ownership and fuck off!

You are the one who brought up racism and I am just wondering what kind of racism you are experiencing. The worst for me was a little girl calling me Pinnochio one time for being white and not having a flat nose. Oh, and one time being turned away from a nightclub when I was about 25, but I went there plenty of other times. In fact it is opposite racism at one bar I know. Koreans have to pay to get in but foreigners get in free. I find that strange, but what can you do. Also, there is a thing where mixed race couples can get good rates of interest above what Korean couples can get, but it discriminates against you if the foreigner is male. So, it is a mixed bag. But certainly not treated worse than the locals really.
