Air Quotes Jordan

Last night.

BBC Question Time.

Via The National:

The outrage focused on a discussion around the experiences of racism described to MPs by former Yorkshire cricketer Azeem Rafiq.

When talking about the issue on the BBC, Peterson twice used “air quotes” around the word “racism” – a choice questioned by SNP MP Stephen Flynn.

Peterson said: “‘Racism’ is a global and vague term.”

He was then interrupted by Flynn, who asked what he’d meant by the use of the air quotes around the term racism.

“Why would you possibly do that? What did that mean?” Flynn asked, adding: “The inverted commas as if it’s not a real thing?”

Peterson answered: “That isn’t what it meant. It meant that it’s indicative of low-resolution thinking.”

    Meanwhile Azzim has apologised for anti semitic tweets. And is going to discuss this and ” all other forms of racism ” with a journo. Can’t wait.

    In fairness, if it wasn’t for that ‘low resolution thinking’ Peterson talks about the comment threads on here would be really short

    he’s so wrong on so many things and gets so aggressive and angry when even slightly challenged on his thoughts. He says near the end of that show, that you can’t be corrupt and successful. Says that politicians who choose to be corrupt are never successful. Lady in the audience paints out quite well, why that’s rubbish, and he cuts her off and just repeats what he said louder and angrier. He’s a faux intellect.
