Yeah playing up his angry side is part of his comedy, partly because of his look and partly because he's so funny with it, but as soon as you see him with other comedians it becomes clear that he's not an angry guy at all, is very humble, generous to his friends and probably pretty optimistic about people and life. The dichotomy of it makes him particularly endearing.

Sahaal_17 Not a false equivalence at all. The people who are upset by this need to sort out their priorities and take themselves a little less seriously - just the same as the people on the left who need to calm it with the PC police stuff.

[@aamnad7976]

tbh I think there is a very distinctive difference between the two. Most of brown/black folks dislike for white people come from a place of hurt, speaking as one myself. On the other hand, white people that hate brown/black people is genuinely bcz they are racist. again he talked about being called "chocolate boy" all these negative experiences, we learn to protect ourselves as we grow up. I also grew up from the mentality bcz it brought me nothing but spite for what was. I liked how easy this conversation was tho, should be like that

[@duck6100]

I think he's saying it's okay as in it's understandable. Like when you've grown up in a country you consider home and people treat you like an outsider because of the colour of your skin or say racist shit to you when you're a child, I bet it's very easy to grow up with the mentality that white ppl are cruel and you want to stay away. It comes from a place of defending themselves not out of malice. Like obviously being violent and abusive towards anyone is bad and I don't think you can ever fully justify it, but I'll forever be more understanding of ethnic minorities in the UK lashing out in defence of themselves than I will be of ethnically English people with the same behaviour.

[@TheBlackDogChronicles]

Okay. I used to like James Acaster. I have even paid to go to his shows. However, the last show I paid to go to was essentially roping his audience into therapy...and now, with this call to active racism on his part, I am now, unfortunately, not interested in him until he grows up a bit and becomes more responsible. To suggest that someone *is* a thing because of their skin colour is repulsive. In a very English way, he assumes that every 'white' person is English - and therefore has 'privilege'. His ignorance of generation-based poverty in the United Kingdom is disgusting. The only 'privilege' I can see apparent in this....is his. That being said, the fault is not entirely his. It is actually on the shoulders of the BBC that is actually advocating this new brand of 'fair' prejudice. We are not by any part moving to the position of societies that make judgements of people based on broad-sweeping assumptions; we are just shifting the spotlight insomuch as who it is okay to direct this vile behaviour towards. P.S. James; please look the Welsh, the Scots and the Cornish in the eye and tell them that the colour of their skin denoted privilege. [Edited due to a typing mistake, 'is' instead of 'as'. Sorry :< ]

Everyone just accepts James slagging off white people as he is being woke but respect to Romesh as he keeps trying to get his point out and he knows it doesn't make it ok to be racist towards white people just because they have a history of being racist to black people. Racism is racism and the only way to stop it is to be aware when you're being racist and question your prejudices. I can imagine a lot of black people feel they have a right to make racist comments about white people but then they're just doing the same thing that's been done to them. It perpetuates it.

Richard Hartley not really, it highlights an important point that sweeping generalizations are innaccurate asf meaning obscuring the truth behind the issue making it difficult to sit at a table and find solutions, but whatever i guess.

[@dahalofreeek]

Yeah, but you look at a country like Japan where racism is a lot more culturally acceptable than in Western countries and you see a lot of open profession of xenophobia. There is something to be said for growing up in a diverse society that constantly bashes racists rather than growing up somewhere where everyone or most everyone is the same race and immediately everyone else becomes obviously foreign rather than ostensibly a member of the diverse group you consider yourself part of. If you have a few generations of diversity people start defining themselves by nationality over race. It's better for the empathy and relating to people if you view them as being a member of your group and with the way a lot of people have been living these past few decades that definition of the group will preclude race more and more. I think "society" has a big impact on the way individuals act. Races aren't racist, but cultures can be.

.....I lived near that cafe and saw the film crew there preparing to film this in the morning back in July/August this year...the only thing that could be guaranteed genuine was the cafe and its owners. Just in case those other people you saw...actors. It is one of few places in London that have remained unchanged..so those young hip(ster) media types looking for "something real" and "authentic" whatever the hell that means, are using that location/cafe more and more .... nice owners though.. but the customers were reflecting the gentrification in the area.... especially with the sign in the window stating "sorry but we do not serve cereals So please do not ask".

@@twiisted1072 Can you remember insulting ethnic minorities? Can you remember the murder of Stephen Lawrence? I didn't have a slave, but I've seen shit loads of racism, and I know for a fact that only racists want to shut down discussion about racism!

It's not about is personally as a race in the past we took advantage of minorities and used them to set up the foundations of the society around us while doing literal fucj all to help them

@@eoinm3d224 are you kidding me, who gave these “slaves” technology food shelter and protection? Do you think that we havent done anything for minorities? They get a vote along with every other human. I bet every single one of yous believe the pyramids were built by slaves too. You guys act like it was just minorities that were slaves you forget that anyone who was a peasant was lucky to not be a slave, and were more of less on the same grounds as a slave. But none of your dumb asses would know that.
