David Starkey writes his early 21st C history today!

I still haven't heard anything properly racist

That doesn't disprove there is a blob and a problem one at that.
As for Brexit it looks like it's been deliberately done badly.
I still haven't heard anything properly racist whether it's that or the out of context quote on "slaves".
I did find some funny clips like this while searching.

Oh. Do you need a video of him screaming the 'N'-word at some black people?

Cambridge seemed to take the opposite view

That only shows what to think of cambridge not starkey.

Kinda like how a guilty verdict only shows what to think of the court, not the accused?🤔

So what?
His comment "The academic and author told an online show that slavery was not genocide as "so many damn blacks" had survived."" is particularly true in a blunt manner.

I found this picture which shows how they were spread into other countries instead of being genocided in some cases their descendants getting "free" countries in the case of the Caribbean while the "white" working class people were killed off either through over work or violence.

No idea what "the blob" is, let alone how it would form a government.
"What's racist about Mr Starkey?"
All the racist stuff he says. Many academic institutions, museums, etc have cut ties with him because of it.
Here's another one. He claimed the Rochdale sex abuse ring perpetrators were "acting within their cultural norm - entrenched in the foothills of the Punjab or wherever it is".

I guess by stating this is racist you are making the argument it is untrue. Have you ever visited Punjab?

Are grooming gangs targeting vulnerable young girls for sexual abuse a "cultural norm" in the Punjab?
No.
Is claiming that it is, racist?
Yes.

So what?

What is your metric threshold for cultural norm exactly?

Something that is regarded as normal within a culture.
Normal is defined as - "an accepted standard or a way of behaving or doing things that most people agree with".
You appear to be arguing that "grooming gangs targeting vulnerable young girls for sexual abuse" is "an accepted standard or a way of behaving or doing things that most people agree with" in the Punjab.

So your issue is semantics with his choice of phrase? Do you deny they have a large grooming problem, even if considered distasteful by the masses?

An estimated 4 million died as a result of the african slave trade, out of about 12-15 million
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_Passage
So roughly 1 in 3 died and then a lot of the "conditions" they endured as slaves were horrendus. In that context, Id hope that a historian (starkey) would have the sense to realise that those remarks were unacceptable.

Yes, my issue is with what he said. What he said was racist.
The way we judge generally if someone is racist is by whether they say racist things. Kinda self explanatory.
"Do you deny they have a large grooming problem, even if considered distasteful by the masses?"
Yes, I agree that there is a large grooming problem in the UK, even if the majority disagree.
You do realise of course, that the majority of sexual grooming of underage girls in the UK is carried out by white, British men?
Is "grooming gangs targeting vulnerable young girls for sexual abuse" an accepted standard or a way of behaving or doing things that most people agree with in the Punjab?
Clearly not, as a quick google would reveal.
The claim that "grooming gangs targeting vulnerable young girls for sexual abuse" is a specifically Punjabi cultural issue is, by definition, racist.
Now, you can align yourself with that claim, or you can distance yourself from it. Your choice.

Which is why I asked for your metric on what you would consider to be an accepted practice, which you didn't provide.
A simple Google search can show you plenty of comments from police chiefs and even the prime minister of Pakistan, blaming victims of grooming and rape for various reasons (clothes, being out without a male chaperone).
I'm sure some especially in the UK would say that it is at best condoned or at worst accepted, as all of these people are still in their jobs after the comments.

So not only you are still claiming that grooming gangs targeting vulnerable young girls for sexual abuse is the cultural norm in the Punjab, but you are now claiming that it is condoned by senior police and political figures, including the Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif?
Some links would be good, thanks.

Unless you're going to argue that they have become a progressive paradise within the last few years. I believe my point stands.
