This whole PC culture is out of hand ........ people poking around to find racism
even where it doesn't exist
It's one of the iconic scenes in the popular Disney classic, but now a US academic has branded Mary Poppins as racist for blackening up her face.
The scene, which features Julie Andrews as Poppins and Dick Van Dyke as Bert, is set on the rooftops of London and includes the song 'Step in Time'.
Poppins, with her face covered in soot, innocently dances with Bert and his fellow chimney sweeps in what is one of the better loved scenes from the 1964 hit film.
Its a childs story for heaven sake and children arent racist, racism is learned.
He was a chimney sweep.......soot is a black dust which got every where, I can
remember the yearly chore/spring clean of getting the chimney swept.
What sad lives some people (SJW's) lead 'LOOKING FOR RACISM' if they
didn't search around looking for it ..... it would in all probability no longer exist.

There is no such thing as race. Its just another way to divide and separate people, keep people arguing and distracted from whats really going on.
Therefore the very concept of racism itself, is racist.

There is only ONE human species. There is no sub species of human.
If a European and Bangladeshi couple mate, the child will still be a homo sapiens.
It is one of many types of discrimination, but it cannot be termed 'racism'... This is all so so ridiculous...

Only white people are racists, except if they are Jewish.
White-race countries are also racist, except for Israel.
Now that you know the rules of the game, please abide by them, folks.
No, by the new rules of the game Israel is also racist, and it's OK to be anti-Semitic depending on your racial/gender persuasion. Just take a look at the new democratic class and you'll see several prominent anti-Semites, especially female ones, in their ranks who aren't afraid at all to speak out on that subject.
