Robert is a little older and a little more cosmopolitan than I am, I'm sure, but I am Britishes and have never heard the term 'spook music'.

"The music of spook - a unique mix of relaxed grooves, mystic spheres and a deep positive feeling of life. Oh yeah, racism too."
― buzza, Wednesday, 22 September 2010 23:17 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah having seen the video it's pretty clearly not a word-choice error
still, i guess he is talking historically and he is invoking some tired archetype while unaware that spook is simply a pejorative

otoh yeah I have never heard the term "spook music" before in my life. "spook" okay yeah that's an archaic racial epithet but... wtf it's a total facepalm/headscratch moment.
I imagine a public apology will be forthcoming shortly lol

i was hoping he'd throw ~air tildes~ around it like "we played ~spook music~" as if to suggest that's what ~they~ called it
but no

I don't think "that's what THEY called it" is going to be an effective strategy when using racially loaded terminology

trouble before was if you wanted to say lz were racist, you'd either need to play up the tired ~appropriation~ thing, or the volkisch immigrant song angry white ppl stuff....and the two stories didn't quite fit, but this helps to link the threads

This is totally racist, but what the fuck is wrong with Australia/New Zealand? Like first the blackface gong show and now this?

i'd love to laugh at antipodean racists, and i often do - my impersonation of an australian is to say "fucking lebos mate" - but tonight on american television a british man is going to be browned up playing a character called "Fa'ad", so maybe people in glass houses and all that.

I got this salsa the other day, and on the side of it it says that, "not unlike a Latin lover," it will "satisfy even your most hedonistic desires."

My favorite "is it racist?" moment on TV is the Jeopardy clip where the Indian guy flubs some question where the answer is "New Delhi", and Trebek kind of deadpans to him, "hurts to miss that one...", it's so easy to find on Youtube, it's been making me laugh for years.

CNN is stirring controversy with an article that calls the upcoming NBA All-Star Game "Black Thanksgiving."
The article, by longtime NBA analyst David Aldridge, calls All Star Weekend a "national holiday" for African Americans, and quotes USC professor Todd Boyd as saying that "the NBA All-Star weekend has turned into a celebration of African American culture by extension."
The article also ran in the middle of the front page of CNN's home page (scroll down for a screenshot).
But some of the hundreds of commenters who flooded the story were not happy. "Shame on you CNN for perpetuating the racism in America...and for what, to get readers? Are you that desperate?" commenter yippidy wrote.
"You managed to include every Black stereotype known to the Western world in this article," rockhanna said.

teal and orange. I can't do abbrevs in my head anymore.
Eh? Outsourced was a pretty good and thoughtful comedy about cultural differences, and it didn't really make fun of Indians at all.

Hmm, I guess you're right... The main guy and girl look pretty similar to the actors who played them in the movie, that's what fooled me.
