What I don't understand is that being black seems to be a 'thing' in America. In the UK, you're just British or whatever. In America, you have to be African American. In the UK, you're just a person, in America, you have to be a Person of Colour. In the UK, you're mixed race, in America you're black, even if you're only 1/8 black (or you were until idiots like Lewis Hamilton decided to ignore half of his ethnicity) etc etc.
All this tit has caused no end of racial tension, where it didn't previously exist. Can you imagine the outcry if there were award ceremonies limited to white people, or Asian people or whatever? What about white people living in predominantly black Countries? Do they have white history month, or need special recognition?
Shouldn't the Harkles be about integration and acceptance, rather than endorsing difference?
