For those of you who are not familiar with the current (appalling) state of television over in PommieBastardLand, one of the highest-rated and most-watched TV shows – if not the most-watched – is a rather sordid train-smash of a show called Love Island.

It amounts to pretty much what you would expect: a group of thots and pretty-boys get sent to a tropical island paradise somewhere off the coast of Spain (I think), are put in close proximity, are told to “couple up” (whatever that means), and then all sorts of risque shenanigans occur as the “couples” do challenges together during the day, and try (and usually fail) to avoid bonking each other at night when they sleep as coupled pairs in a communal area.

I mean, what do you expect when the format of the show literally requires couples to sleep together near-naked…

The contestants are always preposterously good-looking, lie flagrantly about themselves, and join the show in the hopes of achieving fame, fortune, and lots of Instagram followers.

(If you follow that link in the previous paragraph, you will see that one of the female contestants makes a big deal about having sexual relations with ONLY 5 men, and one woman, as if this makes her some sort of paragon of virtue by modern standards. This alone should tell you exactly what modrenity is worth.)

Recently one of the show’s contestants from a previous series made some rather odd allegations about how RAAACISSSS!!! the other contestants are, which honestly sounds a lot like sour grapes to me, but let’s hear her out and go over her comments in detail.

Put on your wellies and don your BS detectors, boys, it’s Fisking time!

For Samira Mighty, posing in a teeny bikini and waiting to be chosen by a handsome Love Island contestant last year was a painful experience.

And it was made all the more humiliating as she was forced to watch over ten long days while one pair of young hopefuls after another paired up.

Of course, sexual attraction is not an exact science, and it may just be that the men in the ITV show preferred other women. Except for one troubling fact: Samira is black, and all the men were white or mixed race.

Last week, her experiences came flooding back as she watched Yewande Biala encounter the same treatment on the new series.

Right. Let’s see who this black contestant on Love Island is* – or was, she got booted from the villa recently, apparently. This here is the Yewande Biala woman that Ms. Samira Mighty (hilarious name, by the way, considering the amount of race-baiting bloviating going on in the article) said triggered her own bad memories:

I believe the appropriate response to that is:

This is what the other contestants from Ms. Mighty’s season looked like:

Yep, pretty much what I thought. Every single one of the white girls there was objectively prettier and in better shape – though the one directly to Ms. Mighty’s left looks a lot less confident about her body than the others.

So far, so not racist.

By the way, the “token black girl” in the middle there is, indeed, Samira Mighty.

Again:

Let’s continue:

Once again, the lighter-skinned inhabitants of the Spanish villa where the programme is filmed were seen coupling up first, while Yewande found herself left until last.

[…]

Yewande, a highly intelligent scientist from Dublin, wasn’t chosen by any of the men, or initially even kissed during any of the ‘challenges’ the contestants were told to carry out.

That only changed on day five – Friday night – when she kissed mixed-race firefighter Michael Griffiths.

Ah, yes, the “highly intelligent scientist” who also is a black woman. I was wondering when they’d trot out that trope. WE NEED MORE WAMENZ SCIENTISTIS!!!

Already we can see a pattern emerging, of politically correct hacks and writers desperately trying to avoid biological realities. Ain’t gonna work.

And here is some more blathering in the same vein:

Samira Mighty, a contestant last year and the first black woman to star on the show since it began in 2015, says the similarity with what happened to her is all too real.

‘I was obviously the token [black woman] on the show, it was easy to work that out. I only had to look at the line of girls when I arrived at the villa,’ Samira, a West End musical star [yeah, right], told The Mail on Sunday in an exclusive interview.

‘There was nobody else who looked like me. ITV are desperate to be diverse, but that is coming across in a way that is quite unfortunate for them. Yewande is a token, too, it’s obvious what is happening.

‘She is the only black girl, and has had little interest from the men, who seem to like blonde white girls with big boobs – or any screen time as a result.’

[…]

For the fact is that the premise of Love Island is that contestants choose each other on looks and looks alone. This, Samira feels, is going against Yewande.

‘Love Island is so shallow. It’s about first impressions. A lot of boys have their type and they’re open about it. It’s a shame Yewande is left on the shelf because it seems right now she isn’t anyone’s type.

[…]

When you kept seeing the white, blonde bombshells coming in with these amazing bodies, big boobs, you feel like ‘Oh God, another one. I’m at the back of the queue again’.

‘Anton, from this year’s cast, actually admitted he prefers white girls with big boobs. The thing is, though, you never hear anyone on the show say that they like black girls. I think ITV don’t want that going out on screen, but it is OK to say, ‘I love blondes.’

This is not difficult to figure out. If you put an objectively less attractive black girl on a TV show with objectively more attractive white girls, the black girl will lose out.

I have written about the very high status given to white women among even non-white men before. This is not racism. This is hard-wired highly evolved biological reality. The hard fact (heh) is that men of all races strongly prefer tall white women with long hair, nice tits, and curvy butts, to women of virtually any other race.

There are any number of factors at play in that calculation, but you don’t have to be a racist to realise very quickly that there are very good reasons why Eastern European women are considered the most beautiful in the world, followed very closely by highly Europeanised Latinas who wouldn’t look even remotely out of place in Barcelona, Lisbon, or Rome.

Unfortunately, the article carries on…:

ITV would no doubt argue that there are five black or mixed-race contestants this year, as well as Anna Vakili, of Iranian heritage, out of 12 contestants altogether – more diverse than ever before.

An ITV spokesman said: ‘We celebrate diversity of every sort and this year’s Love Islanders come from a diverse range of backgrounds with a mix of personalities.’

According to the 2011 Census, 3.3 per cent of the population of England and Wales are black, and 2.2 per cent are mixed race, so it could be said the line-up is actually more than representative of Britain’s cultural diversity.

Indeed. It’s nice of the Daily Mail to include that little tidbit amidst the rest of the bloviating, because the fact is that the cast lineup for this silly show is vastly more diverse than PommieBastardLand is right now, even with their penchant for importing hordes and hordes of Dirt Worlders.

And now here’s the really hilarious part:

Samira says: ‘You can’t get away from the fact that ITV have a show they want to get high ratings for, and their priority is to show the drama, not make sure someone we have barely seen gets a love interest. I think the producers, at the back of their minds, thought Yewande and Sharif [who are both black] would get together.

‘I definitely thought that. Even though it is 2019, I still think there is a lot of underlying racism in this country.’

And Samira has experienced it herself. Since splitting from Frankie Foster, she has found a new boyfriend, who is also white.

This has led to criticism of her online by black people who, she says, have called her ‘coconut’ – dark on the outside but white on the inside – and accusing her of not being loyal to the black community.

‘Black people say to me they hope Yewande isn’t like me – they call me coconut because I go out with white boys. Of course I feel sorry for Yewande, but I don’t know her. She might be bland, she might be fun, but we need the chance to see that and we aren’t getting it, which is an absolute shame.’

OK, so let me get this straight…

If a white guy doesn’t want to date a black girl, he’s a horrible evil terrible no good very bad appalling dreadful disgusting [and so on and so forth for another 5,000 pejoratives] RAAAAACISSSSST!!!!!

But if a black girl only wants to date white guys, she’s… not a racist?

And if black people call her out for being a colossal hypocrite, they are racists as well?!? Toward someone who is of their own race?!?!?

My head is starting to hurt.

Oh well. Onward we go:

For Samira though, one fact remains. The casting department of Love Island isn’t putting enough work into recruiting men who are attracted to all types of women – rather than just those with the blonde bombshell look.

‘The producers should work more on the compatibility of the contestants beforehand. They need to have a mix of people in the villa who like everyone, and who will give everyone a chance.

‘I want to see a Chinese person or an Indian person. That would be so good. This isn’t just about black people. I think it would be good to have many different cultures in there.’

[…]

Meanwhile, the growing controversy over the racial dynamics of the show will continue – offering a microcosm of a society which may yet be a little more fractured than people might think.

Riiiight.

OK, look, let’s get one thing straight.

If a white girl wants to enter into a relationship with a black guy, or a black guy with a white girl, or a brown guy with a white girl, or whatever permutation or combination you care to name…

That’s between the two of them.

But let’s be very clear: exhibiting clear preferences for your own racial in-group is not racist. It’s just reality.

In my experience, whites are the least racist people on the entire planet – and that includes white Russians, who have every reason to be leery and suspicious of outsiders, especially those who are not of their own race.

The most racist people, by far, have always proven to be East Asians. Blacks take a close second in those sweepstakes.

Furthermore, a non-white person raised among white people is always instinctively going to trust and associate with whites far more than non-whites. That is observed and observable reality. It has to do with what a person has familiarity, trust, and comfort with.

This holds true in my own case, certainly. I grew up in a very multicultural environment, but spent most of my youth around predominantly white folks. As a result, I do not find black or South Asian women attractive, and strongly prefer Eastern Europeans and East Asians.

That being said, there was one very attractive, slim, charming young black lady at a speed dating event that I attended a couple of years ago. But she was very much the exception to the rule. All of her black friends at the event were two to four points down the scale from her.

And inevitably, the black and Indian girls were the ones who suffered the most when itcame to getting anything out of speed dating events, or anything similar where the format was biased towards looks.

That’s just reality. It isn’t racist. The sooner that the pearl-clutchers among us realise this, the sooner we can all get back to avoiding trashy reality TV nonsense in the first place.

And if black Americans or Brits or whatever continue to see racists around every bush and tree in their countries, then my respectful suggestion to them is: try going back to your ancestral homelands in Africa – which by the way aren’t really your ancestral homes, not exactly, since black Americans have roughly 24% European DNA on average, and black Brits make up only about 4% of the British population right now, and I’m willing to wager that “black African” Brits actually have a lot of white European DNA in them.

See if you like things better in a part of the world that is literally teeming with black people. Perhaps you’ll have a better time of it than, oh, say, Keith B. Richburg, who wrote a book on the subject of going to Africa as someone who was born and brought up in a Western country.

He didn’t much care for the experience. He came to understand firsthand why it is that old Africa hands, like this guy, or this one, or this one, are so jaded about the Dark Continent and think that it should be left absolutely alone to sink or swim on its own merits – and sinking is far more likely than swimming, because Africa, that’s why.

(Also, because Africa, hippopotamuses and crocodiles roam the rivers and even the coastlines, so whoever tries to swim in Africa stands a decent chance of getting eaten.)

Just sayin’ – y’all might want to chill out about the RAAAAACISSSSM!!! screams once in a while. You guys have it really quite good in your Western lands, so quit yer bitchin’.

*The previous version of this post erroneously conflated Yewande Biala with Samira Mighty. This was a clear mistake and the post has been extensively updated and lengthened to make it clear that the first picture is of Yewande Biala, while subsequent pictures are of Samira Mighty.

So, y’know, oops.
