Call that a headline?

That‘s a headline.

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.”
