mathematics Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Are these petty? I’m not sure: 1. Jacob Rees-Mogg pretending he didn’t know the phrase “yellow peril” was racist. 2. Jacob Rees-Moffat walking into a job with Rothschild investments with a 2:1 in History. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 When one of Cosgrove or Cowan are missing in action, yet they still introduce OTB with "you're listening to the odd couple of Scottish football". Well no, we're not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a 2:1 in history and I walked straight into the dole queue. But I know more about mediaeval Scotland than that faux posh w****r so I win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've also never heard it used.If you've never heard it used, you're not going to say it are you? Rees-Mogg didn't invent the phrase, he has heard it before and it's only ever used as a racist term to describe China. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only ever heard this term used at work when new signalling diagrams get issued as they get printed on yellow paper. I can get the hint of historical empirical racism going on with the term tho am at a loss as to what context anyone would use it today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I thought the "yellow peril" referred to traffic wardens. Only context I've ever heard it tbh and have never used it myself. Then again, I'm not Jacob Rees-Mogg. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 It goes back to the massively racist Fu Manchu films which Rees Mogg is well aware of but thought it would be marvellously witty to use to mock the LibDems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Quote The Yellow Peril (also the Yellow Terror and the Yellow Specter) is a color-metaphor that represents the peoples of East Asia as an existential danger to the Western world.[2] As a psycho-cultural menace from the Eastern world, fear of the Yellow Peril is racial, not national, a fear derived not from concern with a specific source of danger or from any one people or country, but from a vaguely ominous, existential fear of the faceless, nameless hordes of yellow people opposite the Western world. As a form of xenophobia, the Yellow Terror is fear of the Oriental, non-white Other, a racialist fantasy presented in the book The Rising Tide of Color Against White World-Supremacy (1920), by Lothrop Stoddard.[3] Yellow Peril - Wikipedia 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
