Have you had your diversity fix today?

[Workingman]

It is very easy, just go to any broadcast or printed media and you will be bombarded with adverts, programme trailers and photographs introducing articles showing unending positivity of BAME, LGBT and Disabilities, as well as other minorities.

All families and social groups we are shown as being "normal" are all diverse in every possible way imaginable regardless of what is out there in the real world. I am not against diversity and us all getting along, far from it, but I am against the not-so-subtle brainwashing we are going through. I am also quite angry about these ZHC seen once never to be seen again "actors" who are being used as tokens in this dangerous game. It has become tedious.

These memes also crop up when the brainwashers stoop to using puppetry, cartoons or GCI instead of real people to get us to comply. Pick up any modern children's book or watch children's TV and films and you will see what I mean.

It makes me wonder what is going on and who is behind it.

My favourite advert is the Sainsbury’s one with a lovely everyday black family. All black, no need for white additions just a nice happy family enjoying themselves

I know it's from the Daily Mail, but not everyone sees the Sainsburys advert that way:

We see a bit of live TV from time to time. I've taken a point of noticing the "diversity" on the adverts.

I didn't know the ethnic mix was over 60% non ethnic white in the UK..... Because that is the "diversity" that the adverts show and I'm starting to get pretty damned annoyed about it.

I made a point of looking around when I was travelling the world for work. India, ethnically balanced, China, ethnically balanced, Africa, South America, Australia, all the same.

Today, in the UK, the ethnic balance is totally warped and the 82% majority are vastly under represented!

So much so that it appears to be virtually impossible to have a family which is not mixed ethnicity unless it is a minority family. Even more so the supposed "children" of the mixed ethnicity families are Clearly not from the two parents as the children are not mixed ethnicity at all.

Clearly we are all supposed to lap up this form of brainwashing without engaging any braincells.

Me too. Just about every couple on the TV ads is a mixed race couple. It is laughable.
And don't get me started on kids TV! I watch a fair bit because we babysit Eliza. Cbeebies were pushing black history month recently. Two year olds being told how wonderful Nelson Mandela was? Yes, that is outright brainwashing. verything has to be inclusive now you see.
Even Peppa Pig has now got an animal child in a wheelchair. It is not enough that the program is popular and funny, it has to be used as a vehicle for inclusiveness as well.

Just like football is being used to push anti racism. I don't want to watch football to be lectured on racism or white privilege, I want to see a game. But the woke legions have well and truly got their hands on it now.

Hence we almost never watch live TV. It is almost impossible to push an agenda to me because I won't watch it, consume it or engage in it.

It would be nice if social media and youngsters were able to avoid this by choosing content but the agenda is almost totally pervasive to all media.

Colour/Race blindness is what we want. The problem is that the opposite is in effect.

[Workingman]

Shell, I have no problem with the Sainsbury's advert because it is not what I am talking about.

What I am on about is that there is an agenda being pushed by self-elected, unseen, unknown and unregulated forces, mainly from advertisers, the media, entertainment and the arts, and sports, and if you do not buy in for the whole pound you are an antediluvian, fascist, racist, xenophobic bottom feeder. No criticism of the agenda is tolerated or allowed.

Hence we get the implausible examples already given as well as others dealing with things such as religion, disability and LGBT. And for the agenda drivers these things are a problem everywhere, with everyone, all day and every day, and so we get the propaganda avalanche. The reality is that the vast majority of us rub up against each other quite well for most of the time. We might not all be 'besties' but we certainly are not out to 'get' each other at every opportunity.

I have a real worry that what is happening could be driving those who are on the margins or were very middle-ot-the-road on such matters into the arms of the likes of the EDL, BNP, NF, Britain First, UKIP and other minority and more extreme groups. There is already evidence this is the case and it is an unintended consequence of pushing, what is basically a good idea, too hard.

[Suff]

and it is an unintended consequence of pushing, what is basically a good idea, too hard.

This is not just pushing a good idea, it is riding the hobby horse into galactic proportions of idiocy. Which then turns simple, tolerant and live and let live people, into intolerants. After all, if it becomes "Stuff you, I have the right to live as I want and you have the right to live your life they way I want", then the middle of the road person puts the middle finger up and goes elsewhere.

Oddly enough, the middle of the road person way, Way, WAY outnumbers the hobby horseists.

[Workingman]

Oddly enough, the middle of the road person way, Way, WAY outnumbers the hobby horseists.

Ain't that the truth.

So why is it that the hobby horseists get the control? It is largely because they are in the top positions in the media, advertising, entertainment and arts and so on and they have the ears of the weak minded and should anyone in any sort of position criticise them in any way they will use their influence to hound them out of a job.

You just wait for the first sports person not to take the knee at some event and see what reception they get. I will put good money on many of them thinking that it has gone far enough, but they will not make the stand (pun intended) because they know that their often short-lived careers will be destroyed in an instant.

But many families ARE diverse, and this reflects their reality. For many many years all ads were wall-to-wall white families - mum, dad, and 2.4 children *shrugs*
