    The prosecution was ridiculous and clearly politically-motivated.
    That said, I do have qualms about legitimising terms like 'coconut'. I appreciate that it's a term mostly used by POC and it's probably not for a white person to judge, but I don't care for this idea that one's politics should be determined by one's race. It's applying different standards to different people in accordance with the colour of their skin.
    In this case, it also ignores the fact that a person of Indian heritage, like Rishi Sunak, might not naturally identify with a Palestinian Muslim, anymore than a white Christian might.
    Treating skin colour as the only factor in one's political development and mindset is extremely crude and inaccurate.
    And I say all of this as someone who despises Sunak and Braverman's politics, particularly their stance on Gaza.

      I think you're focusing more on the ethnicty/race of the matter and not why the term coconut was used. Sure there's a political element, but it's more of a societal condemnation by POC to other POC. In this case, it wasn't just politics, but watching a POC just upholding white systems of oppression. Most POC don't determine their politics by ethnicty. But what most POC people will agree on is POC trying to align with oppressive systems thinking they'll be an exception and treated better. Sunak once said his daughters would never face racism, it's just not true. Regardless of their wealth or class standing. They are not white and won't be ever seen as white.

    • @GregOrCreg
      @GregOrCreg Місяць тому +3

      @@Coco-uk9tv Agreed. Which is partly why I say I don't care for the term under any circumstances. The sam goes for the 'n' word.
      But I'm not going to be in favour of criminally prosecuting a Black rap musician who uses the n word, or even a Black person who refers to a friend that way as a form of 'endearment', whereas a person using the term as a hateful threat clearly does justify a criminal prosecution (and, fwiw, that could hypothetically apply to anyone regardless of skin colour, including a Black person, BUT in all honesty, it's FAR more likely that the word would be used in an abusive context by a white person towards a POC).
      Remember, free speech doesn't necessarily mean 'correct speech'. There is a lot of speech that I don't care for, and I have a right to criticise, but which I'd hate to see criminally prosecuted, and I honestly think society should err on the side of freedom (and that includes even a lot of right-wing rhetoric which I personally abhor. Unless it's inciting actual violence and hate, it shouldn't be prosecuted. Just causing offence shouldn't be enough).

Of course you can't use all coconuts in the same way, for example the Sri Lankan "King Coconut" is typically green or orange on the outside and just a bit of whiteness on the inside. Baby coconuts are famous for their delicious sweet juices, which some people love to drink, especially if you're holidaying in Asia.

    However I also despise Braverman, Sunak (not as much), I would also add Badenoch and Patel.
    This lady should have taken accountability for poor judgement in using the term coconut. She could have called out Sunak and Braveman without resorting to racial slurs and ad hominem attacks. Instead she used a slur then played the victim bringing up that she is pregnant, lost her job. Your actions have consequences.

If you close your eyes you can't tell what "race" someone is. What is considered "a race" can only be determined by visual cues, remove those visual cues and there is no way to determine what one would call "race".

    "Coconut" is a pejorative term. It is a term which, by it's very nature pertains to the race of the person it is said about. You could not, in any meaningful way, call a white person "A coconut", and you could not use it in any way which is not derogatory or pejorative of the person you are speaking to. By any objective measure, it is therefore a racial slur. The only justification for being ok with this but not ok with other racial slurs is because you have a political bias. The hypocrisy here is palpable.
