Is that a slur? It has a racial component, sure, but I hardly think it is actually a racist comment, and definitely not a slur. And to label it as “racially motivated harassment” is laughable.
If this is actually what Kerr said, it’s pretty indicative of the systemic issues that have been popping up in the UK for awhile now. They’ve been travelling further and further down the fascist highway since Brexit.
I generally feel you shouldn’t say anything about one race you wouldn’t replace with another. Like, you wouldn’t replace white with black.
Also you should insult people’s behavior or choices, not intrinsic things they can’t pick or change.
That said, if I understand the article, this was said to a cop and got for them to react like this is comically soft
I’m glad you’ve said this. For a harmonious society situations like this have to be treated reasonably equally.
But its such a silly thing to do for such a high profile personality like Kerr. Tje bastards will have a field day! If she actually said it of course, because she has registered her innocence, indicating she disagrees quite sharply with the cops interpretation of events.
