I was told recently that there's no such thing as racism against white people, and that, contrary to the definition of the word, racism really means something that involves an imbalance of power, and it's not racism if using the broadest brush to blame anyone of similar skin colour as the oppressor's skin colour, and that this skin colour is only white. :3
So by this newspeak, so long as those English accents are uttered from people with light skin tones, it can't be racist. So, shout and jeer your crude cliche impressions against the item of the hour of hate all you want. It's doubleplus. ;D
Mad world.
