Racists annoyed at Fred Perry on Twitter

[Fambo Number Mive]

Some racists on Twitter are annoyed at the brand Fred Perry for featuring BAME models in their advertising campaigns. I'm sure Fred Perry is worried that a few dozen white supremacists who want us to go back to the 1950s but without the welfare state won't buy their products any more.

And then gammons in the media get annoyed when people say Britain is racist. Imagine getting annoyed because a model has different skin colour to you. It's bizarre and disturbing.

Okay

[Fambo Number Mive]

I wonder if this will be like the Nike "boycott" with people destroying their Fred Perry clothes. And then buying some more in a few weeks.

Does the Asian in BAME mean people from the south asian sub continent or from the far east?

Only a true racist would ask a question like that.

[bgmnts]

I am a massive racist to be fair. I do feel bad for all the people that don't get their own letter in the acronym though.

White people used to have terrible names for non-white people which non-white people would never say.

Now they have nice names for non-white which non-white people will never say.

If I see a non-white person wearing the same clothes as me, should I try to take their clothes off, or just remove my own?

It is becoming a challenge just getting through the day now, I saw a muslim family walking past with a dog recently, guess that's dog-owning ruined then, can't even have dogs anymore. There's this asian fellow who comes by every two weeks dressed as a binman and tries to steal my bins, I have to chase him away with a mop.

South Asian, mate. Otherwise they'd be called BOME.*


* Black, Oh he looks like he might be- but equally might not be- Chinese, Minority Ethnic

[idunnosomename]

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

I couldn't belm a whole one.

[Sebastian Cobb]

Bit late for Fred Perry to be distancing themselves from racism tbf.

[Fambo Number Mive]

Aren't their clothes mainly worn by ska and two tone fans as opposed to fash?

[Zetetic]

Pretty sure racism is more popular than two tone these days.

[Dewt]

I love watching people airing their grievances about this stuff but still trying to maintain that they are not racist. Just the incredible ambition required to even attempt that.

[Al Tha Funkee Homosapien]

Pretty sure 75% of the racists on twitter are just bots?

[ollyboro]

Both Fred Perry and Red Rum won a much loved National sporting event three times, both died in 1995 and both were geldings. Makes you think.

[Buelligan]

Pretty sure racism is more popular than two tone these days.

Pretty sure Fred Perry's advertising agency have just realised that.

[Cold Meat Platter]

I suppose these idiots would rather it was white people blacked up?
This country. Or whatever country it is.

[Neomod]

Racists not very good at youth tribe history shocka!

[Prison Biscuits]

Remember when horses were famous, like Red Rum, Desert Orchid and Shergar. You never hear about any famous horses these days. That's sad.

[confettiinmyhair]

I BAME JACK BAUER

yes, and i'm not aware that many of today's fascists identify with 60s skinhead culture in the slightest

[jobotic]

I didn't know this but just discovered that the Proud Boys all wear them for some reason. Or did three years ago.

I've got one upstairs. Unite the right

I reckon Fred Perry actually wants us to go back to the 1930s. He was alive & really good at tennis then.  The racism of the time would just be an added bonus.
