In my opinion Billy T. James was NZ’s greatest ever comedian and all-round entertainer, and his TV show from the late 1980s was wildly popular. This sketch was one of my favorites. But after seeing the ferocity with which activist Lee Williams was attacked by the Extreme Left over his spoof of a certain Maori Party MP, it made me wonder if the (albeit more moderate) PC Brigade which developed would have claimed “racist!” about this today?
As Who vocalist Roger Daltrey commented recently (see post) the Wokeists are creating a dull, miserable society in which those who scream “I’m offended” get headline treatment in the Legacy Media — and more disconcertingly, then embark upon vendettas against that person by agressively lobbying family, employers, making false claims to authorities, and so on.
The Wokeists are a blight on society and should be disregarded. Unfortunately the ‘hate speech’ notions of Jacinda & Co. are set to make things a whole lot worse.
Racism against Asian does not exist because they are better educated and have better employment statistics, this breaks the CRT narrative.
Hmm, I think you need to have another look at the definition of the term ‘racism’.

Ah, okay. They are different words, but never mind.
Yes, Billy T would be considered racist today. He was funny at times but definitely racist. If you want to go back to the good ol’ days of normalised racism, great. I think most people are happy for the progress we’ve made.
Do I really have top explain it to you?
BLM Black Lives Matter was everywhere at the time. My point was that no one ever mentions the racism that other ethnicities experience.
For example, Asians!
I’ve never understood why some Kiwi’s have no concept of what sarcasm actually is or when it is used.
Is that racist?
Got you twice, a third time?
Lets see.
Thank you for your time and have a nice day.
It’s ok, sorry if I was bit rough on you.
Critical Race Theory states that if ethnicities were not subject to racism, then they would have better future prospects, better employment, wealth, education and would have lower numbers amongst the prison population.
Asians, break that narrative.
