Who hates Welsh people? [info]jennyo does!
(Thanks to [info]prolific and anonymousie for the links!)

It's a day that ends with "y" so [info]jennyo is off fapping about racism, or sexism, or classism, or any other "ism." Today's rant? Racism! Or how 'Whitey' is no-good!

It starts with [info]jennyo declaring TV is all about 'Whitey', no ifs, ands or buts about it. As always, it devolves into tedious, tl;dr paragraphs about how every minority character on TV is a "token" character. What makes this wank even more enjoyable is the raging self-hatred. Mmmm, delicious!

Naturally, there is wank in the comments, which gets more into Welsh representation on Torchwood with [info]jennyo declaring that I must honestly admit I don't give a shit about Welsh people, and that I will probably from now on hope that the Welsh are, in fact, further oppressed.

[info]m_butterfly and [info]sexonastick (among others) try (okay, the response is a bit snarky but still made of win) to explain why exactly Torchwood isn't as racially oppressive as [info]jennyo tries to make it and is actually very progressive.

[info]nostalgia_lj responds with her own post. As of the posting of this, [info]jennyo has not commented to it.

But no wank would be complete without the bitchy follow-up rant wherein [info]jennyo dismisses the Welsh discussion as a "half-assed issue." Nice.

ETA: [info]calapine pwns jennyo by addressing racial statistics in the UK.
