Sylvia Kristel calling out David Baddiel for being Racist

[@seaniek9175]

Fair play to that woman in calling it out in an era when people stayed stum about these things

[@steviegbcool]

true but is making fun of someone outfit racist?

Pretty dumb to think someones outfit being bad is racist.

[@hahanah1463]

Sorry but she and you are the racists. Most of us dont see colour you jukp straight to his colour

Haha and this Baddiel guy is an expert on Racism, lol

He was very good in My Name is Earl

[@NOSTALGIAKINKY]

I love this so much. Thank you for isolating it. Sylvia was a great progressive and I tried to point that out in my book on her. Thank you again for this. Love seeing her standing up to racist behavior.

[@stupidhandles]

Genuine question, please can you explain to me what is racist in the clip? All I see is a man being mocked for his ridiculous attire.

[@NOSTALGIAKINKY]

@@stupidhandles Baddiel has a long history of racist behavior including wearing blackface on the show which he had to apologize for. He's clearly not just picking out anyone in the audience wearing "ridiculous attair' but is focusing on a person of color to make fun of.

[@peterah7957]

@@NOSTALGIAKINKY Being now aware of baddiels previous history it would be easy for us to make that assumption about this incident but the guy is clearly wearing a wig and some odd combination of clothing... It may or not be his style but baddiel obviously wanted to make fun of him and I dont believe it's about his skin colour.

[@funkdoubt1]

Plot twist: the man was an Israeli, white, semite… Baddiel: call the Kremlin. I mean NATO. The police , boss mates at the network, their cousins whi are share holding investors. Mummaa…. They hate me! But wants the right to descriminate. Where was his awareness or empathy. It wasn’t racist. No proof. I agree. Shame he likes it both ways. This is my point. 🍀🫡 When he wants to sniff racism out if the air its always in great abundance lol stupid little Chelsea fan.( He goes to games of the most notorious racists in the country). Baddiel is pute 100% cunt. Head to hairy toe. 🍀

[@cookslooking10]

"A long history of wearing black face" - It was a handful of sketches, it was not remotely controversial at the time, it was signed off by a producer an editor and program commissioner. I understand him apologizing now but get some perspective.

[@StevesMagic]

This is the episode where, before filming, Silvia introduced herself to the cast and crew. "I'm Silvia, I'm an actress" she said. Frank replied, "on that basis I'm Frank and I'm a schoolboy"

[@DisobedientSpaceWhale]

Actresses can't be middle aged or older then? Tell Judi Dench

[@adz124ps]

Baddiel was such a racist back then.

[@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek]

How is this racist?

[@scottishbanjo]

So why exactly did this guy look “ so ridiculous” that it needs to be highlighted oN a tv programme ?

[@attackpatterndelta8949]

Cos he had a stupid wig on.

[@jamesthecat]

Because in the 1990s you really had to look cool, and there was suddenly a lot of pressure on guys to do so.

[@hahanah1463]

Go back to yer own country bud, understand the culture or jog on home

[@SamhuinnSam]

No-sleeved formal shirt and tie at a football game

[@steviegbcool]

yes you can only ridicule someone wearing a short sleeve tie and shirt if they are white

[@DisobedientSpaceWhale]

But that's because of the historic power imbalances

[@thecarpetman7687]

It’s not racism….it’s clothesim and haircutism😂

[@iangriffiths7214]

Why did they let her get away with that

[@anthonymcken6050]

Well said Sylvia.

[@hahanah1463]

Lmao ok racist calm down

[@HK_Musician]

You're only allowed to make fun of your own race.. okay! That's the rules

[@SamhuinnSam]

[@ZeranZeran]

except if you're Jewish Then you can be openly racist

[@ZenAndPsychedelicHealingCenter]

Racists are not hidden online. You are not anonymous. Remember that.

[@DisobedientSpaceWhale]

Seems fair enough tbh

[@chinny_reckon]

The only person referring to that man's race was Kristel... David and Frank didn't say anything about him being black.

[@freeindeed13]

Whether David Baddiel is racist or not - that was in no way racist.

[@Phantomuser13]

for someone who doesn't like racism....she needlessly made that about race real quick.

[@ennesshay5040]

ANYway -- $kinner !!!!!!!!

[@GIBBO4182]

I missed the part where he was racist

[@OfficialFingazMC]

Lol utter nonsense

[@AlbanZap]

Somehow making fun of a black person is racism.... what?

[@ZenAndPsychedelicHealingCenter]

Yes. Why does this have to be explained to racists?

[@jamesthecat]

​@@ZenAndPsychedelicHealingCenterBecause it's clearly not that simple. Their reaction is completely honest, and yours would be the same if confronted by someone presenting like that, but presumably you would repress that, which ironically is not only patronisingly racist (black people can wear terrible wigs and ridiculous clothes, whilst anyone else would be laughed out of town?!) but potentially dangerous, as you may well be blithely perpetuating a mental health issue, which would be *my* first instinct, regardless of race (sorry to disappoint).

[@mrmoralman1]

''lets all laugh at this different looking obviously foreign to UK person and laugh together ;) you know what I mean ;) Understand?

[@andishawjfac]

How many times did they single out a white person in the crowd and make fun of their appearance? Zero When you only make fun of black peoples appearance, you are being racist. If you take the mick out of everyones appearance, you're a comedian.

[@kc8923]

I think it is racist as it ridicules someone based on his appearance, part if which is him not being white.Have a listen to the Jason Lee interview with David Baddiel on his podcast Absolute Lee to hear how such ridicule can affect people.
