The massively popular show the Great British Bake Off has fallen foul of the hypersensitive racism crowd. I really have no words. How can reason and moderation prevail against weaponised mental illness?

I’ve had a more furious storm after eating Taco Bell.
Your link takes me to a site where I have to manage cookies…
I don’t, and probably will never, understand the whole “you did something and it offended me” BS. Some silly cooking show made a mistake (likely several). OK, point them out, take the opportunity to EDUCATE others, and stop being eternally offended and self-righteous. You don’t want anyone checking your feeds for racist and offensive items, do you?

As always, spot on. If I jumped in everytime someone online or on legacy TV got something wrong about British history or culture I’d be a very busy boy. Sometimes it amuses me, sometimes annoys me, sometimes it angers me, but i never feel I have the right to stop folk being wrong. If I think there’s a point, I’ll try to correct the fault.
I run a Facebook group called Grammar Libertarians expressly for people to have fun with bad grammar while not becoming either grammar Nazis or “grammar is an invalid social construct” nutballs. I like them peoples in tha group, their nice. 😉
Screw ’em both – eat Vietnamese. lol
I’ve eaten Chinese, Japanese,and Vietnamese and like them all. How about Thai? Love it!.
I’ve only ever had Chinese and Japanese. I’ve wanted to try Thai and Vietnamese for a long time but never seem to get the chance.
Indian, Chinese and Thai are big in the UK. The last mostly in the last 20 years or so. I must admit, when I go for a Thai meal I usually feel I wish we’d gone for either Chinese or Indian. It feels like a mix of the two.
Thai can be spicy. Actually so can Chinese, especially Hunan or Szechuan. The milder Chinese is probably Cantonese. Vietnamese is closer to Cantonese… At least what I had.
