I now imagine the fox in Thomas's cartoons as a stand in for the lurking, encroaching immigrant to be honest (along with the badger, one you could at least legally shoot). Pretending it's a fun game for Thomas is misreading the situation, I fear :ohdear:

...ok, Thomas was right about needing the news signs.

What's with the Indy cartoon? Aside from an excuse to violently murder Farage. Is the Tories continuing to be poo poo about green energy supposed to be a big UKIP-vote winner?

I was referring to the Express cartoon there. The joke is that Chinese food is a waste of money because you're hungry again shortly after eating it.

It would be immediately familiar to people familiar with and appreciative of racist stand up comedy from the 70s and 80s, i.e. Daily Express readers. As humour goes it's right up there with airline food (you should be so lucky these days anyway), so there's no shame in being unfamiliar with it!

The observation was that there is a common saying one feels hungry again shortly after eating Chinese food. It's a well-known trope.

I have no idea what hosed up SJW level of thought processes it takes to find that 'racist', or where you got the idea it's supposed to imply Chinese food is a waste of money since in all the times I've heard it that particular claim has never been even implied.

Saying that Chinese takeaway isn't filling isn't racist.
Going "lol Chinese people = takeaway food" is racist.

It's a famous joke about a nation's food (specifically that available from takeaways overseas)? I mean, it's very mildly racist at worst, I admit, but it's also silly not to see some kind of Othering in there. Not least because it's not particularly true. If we're comparing anecdotes I've never not been filled for hours by a big Chinese meal, so...

^-- Also that.
