Everything else is fair game but race seems to be something they have wisely steered clear of.
Cor! Talk about an advanced driving manoeuvre. Still seems a bit short sighted of the big Veeh Eye Zeeh, especially wot wiv the growing demand for authentically packaged and mediated socio-catharsis, due to the perennially intensifying strains of multiculturalism in the 21st Century.
That problem can be addressed by introducing two characters to the mag, currently at the prototype stage (ie in my head).
Ray Scard and Anne Throp-O'scene, the multi-ethnic sensitivity apparatchiks.
Do you mean THE Ray Scard?
Yes, definitively, the very self same. I'm playing him at table tennis this afternoon. The game will require sensitivity. If I beat him, he might take offence as he is part Persian and obviously people "beat" Persian rugs. Then again if I lose, he might take offence because he is part French and obviously "lose" almost sounds a bit like the Battle of Waterloo, which he's still sore about. Then again if we somehow draw, he might take offence as he is part Egyptian and obviously the ancient Egyptian system of hieroglyphics consisted of a lot of "draw"-ings, the legacy of which has been marred by colonialism...
And as for Anne?
You can't miss her. She's here, there and everywhere these days - so urbane.
Ms, Miss or Mrs?
Leave it out, you sorry excuse for a human being.
Sorry, but, you can't say that these days, coz it doesn't take the hyper-non-binary nature of trans-humanism into account (under breath: also you sound like a sad, small-minded, little Englishman). What about Mx?
Well, yeah, she is part Mexican actually, but she doesn't tend to blow her own (mariachi band) trumpet.
Chortle.
Please let me know if I'm breaking the forum guidelines with such tangents.
