Dear UK media,

I'm not a thin-skinned person, but I really love how you feel that pushing September 11th pictures and programme promos at me with impunity is totally okay. And I don't mean the sentimental God Bless America sort of thing, either, I mean images and footage of terrible things.
( possibly triggery talk about this. )
I love you, UK media. And I'm not asking for special treatment. But I really hate how you do the same thing to other places that you complain about the US and Europe doing to you.

xx Rhi

rhivolution: the Tenth Doctor, looking mightily pissed off (gonna cut you: the Tenth Doctor)
Right, not to start a flame war, but I've left the usually interesting [livejournal.com profile] dw_britglish because I don't really want to hang out with a bunch of imperialist apologists. (of both the British and US American varieties, by the by.)

If I ever needed an illustration of how little the impact of the British Empire on former colonies is currently understood by white people, I just got it. You can be interested in British culture without supporting all historical (and, frankly, current) decisions that hurt people or white-washing over the bad parts.

Yes, I am white and from the US, but, to take a turn of phrase from my relatives, that ain't no reason to be fuckin' IGNORANT.

That is all, carry on.

(PS: This isn't just Britain, either. Anyone who knows me knows I will gladly air US dirty laundry. It just didn't come up.)

ETA: The pertinent post has been deleted. [snort]
