And that is exactly the damage such childish bullshit like this does to real racism problems, like i said earlier, the problem here is Woolly, he clearly has a problem.

I'm from the west country - typically stereotyped as thick famers with a less-than-healthy liking for cider, do i give a fucking shit when i see the two ronnies chewing on straw, talking over a five-bar gate or catch a re-run of worzel gummidge.

Some twats need to look at themselves instead of displaying mock outrage that insults the issues they're meant to care about.
Ain't that a sad truth mate.

I hate biggotry in all it's forms.   But the holier-than-thou, self serving shite, I've seen over the last couple of months is sickening, and in certain quarters has put back race relations, years.


It seems that if they shout racist at you, and you disagree, then that in itself must make you racist.   You're either with us or against us mentality is a fucking subversion of the truth, if ever there was one.

Anyone seen this article? I thought it was a pisstake, but apparently and very sadly it is not. ::)

http://www.obv.org.uk/news-blogs/obv-force-spanish-multinational-pull-racist-ad

OBV force Spanish multinational to pull racist ad
Submitted 29 Feb 2012 1:47pm

In the last hour, OBV have learned that Spanish multinational insurance company, Groupama, which has a subsidiary here in the UK, has pulled one of its adverts currently showing in Spain that depicts Black people, in a jungle scenario as stupid, backward, animalistic homosexuals.

Sadly, however, the group go on to say,

“Groupama Seguros does not consider that this advert contains either offensive nor any discriminatory content.”

The advert which stars Liverpool and Spanish international goalkeeper Pepe Reina, plays on his surname Reina-which is translated to Queen in English. In the ad the blackened up chief chooses Reina, the Queen, as his partner in a lustful manner.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpmZPeZbI1Y

OBV’s Director Simon Woolley said,

“I’m shocked on so many levels. Firstly, how would the Spanish feel if the English stereotyped Spanish people as backward, stupid, and animalistic homosexuals? Secondly, what does this say about Pepe Reina? The Liverpool goalkeeper has lived and worked in the UK for nearly a decade, does he think it’s ok characterise Black people this way? Does he think his Black team mates will laugh at his joke?”

Given that Liverpool football club is trying to move forward from the Suarez affair, it is a shame that another one of their players has caused offence, by appearing in an advert that seems to come from a bygone era. Those who are old enough might remember those despicable Benson and Hedges Silk Cut Zulu ads of the 1970’s.

Before having a go at Pepe, he should ask the black people in that advert why they took part. Did they not realise that it maybe deemed offensive?! Obviously they didnt - because it isnt! Sadly another bandwagon jumping group. Instead of helping asians and black people, these groups are turning us into a joke - and not a nice one at that.

Well done OBV. Another group who I should in theory be supporting but like FARE, the PFA, the FA and others who have proved they are more concerned with media posturing than dealing with the insidious and still very real problem of racism.

Well he certainly doesn't give a flying fuck about facts or the truth:

" A few weeks after the incident, a Liverpool fan wearing a 'we support Suarez' t-shirt, racially abused young Black player Tom Adeyemi during an FA cup tie against Oldham."

Really Simon?...

Or he would be in an important position, if he wasn't an illiterate tool.

This is a total sham.  Nevertheless, I hope the club and Pepe come out and address this in a way that shows they've learned the PR lessons of the Suarez thing.  Sadly though, I just can't see this going well.

not sure it's the Club who should address this - Pepe's not doing the ad in the Club's colours.  Probably the advertiser and Reina's agent, if it comes to that, with the Club lending support.

Having said this, a non-story which shown the matter has gone beyond stupid (long ago, to be honest).

Sadly unless LFC sues someone huge and wins big time so everyone else learns the lesson this will go on forever. The bastards are leeches that will suck blood from any available wound even if it was their own.

Unless LFC will take some very prominent media outlet to court and win millions in damages, they will never stop, as they have a story line that sells like water in the desert, and they know they can get away with it.

I've just read the article and it sounds like another case of pc madness. And some clown with nothing better to do than get sensitive over an ad in another country.

And the bbc deem it worthy news. I can't wait for that wolly Daniel Taylor from the guardian to denounce LFC and Kenny for encouraging this act of 'racism'.

Perhaps we should check with fergie if Reina should be sold now.

Its all very petty. Should black people be outraged for a film like 'Coming to America' on how it mocks some Africa culture? Or white people condemn 'White men can't jump'? Or maybe Asians for the countless films that stereotype them all as being martial artists involved in gangs.

This is slightly off topic, but I'm having an argument with a friend about Suarez-gate and promised him to show him the article where the Uruguayan linguist analyzed the FA evidence, and said it was essentially very unlikely that a Spanish speaker would say those words. Does anyone still have that link handy?

I speak Spanish, my wife is Spanish, has been living here for about 20 years.

I've seen the ad, if anything it looks like a 'post-modern' take on the old stereoptype of tribal canibalism. It is clearly ironic. I think it's telling that OBV focused on the 'homosexual' element. Firstly, why is it offensive for black people to be portrayed as 'homosexual' ( as an enlightened organisation, OBV should know many gay people find the term 'homosexual' offensive, because it was used by US psychiatrists to classify being gay as a mental health problem)

OBV go on to ask how Spanish people would feel if they were subject to cultural stereotyping. I don't remember OBV coming out against the use of phrases such as 'Spanish practices' in industrial relations or challenging the consistent portrayal of 'manana / siesta culture perpetrated by the English media. 


Finally, OBV purpose is obsolete, University of Warwick has published research showing that at the last election BME groups were actually proportionately over-represented at the ballot box.
