“As the ‘white’ bit of a ‘mixed-race’ couple I completely agree that the piece was patronising etc etc, and so glad you highlighted the ridiculous “exotic booty for me to choose for my next conquest” tone.”

++++

I hate to be controversial, but in my experience that is exactly the way that a lot of white people, both men and women, think about the sexuality of Black and Asian men and women. I admire Ruth Fowler for her honesty. At least she admits it.

Oi Ernie, add your voice to the CiF massive while you can (I think they close a thread after 72 hours). More interventions like your wise words are needed amongst the stuff there.

Your ravings against Ruth Fowler’s totally ridiculous article mirrored my own private ranting on reading Ms Fowler’s piece myself.

As the ‘white’ bit of a ‘mixed-race’ couple I completely agree that the piece was patronising etc etc, and so glad you highlighted the ridiculous “exotic booty for me to choose for my next conquest” tone.

Amidst the rubbish often filling CiF, your work is a breath of fresh air.

Will you be available to rescue the Labour party if/when Brown is out?

I wonder what those voters will think after four years of a Boris Mayoralty?

Perhaps time for a change - but I’d be interested to know whether the vote was based on party or personality.
