Academic: Using Gardening Terms Like “Soil Purity” is Racist

Collectivist control freak brings the crazy

A senior lecturer at the University of Westminster has courted controversy by claiming that using gardening terms such as “soil purity” and “invasive species” is a secret form of racism.

Dr Ben Pitcher accused hosts of a BBC Radio 4 panel show in the United Kingdom called Gardeners’ Question Time of promoting “nationalist and fascist beliefs” by disguising racist slurs as horticultural advice.

Citing the “crisis in white identity in multicultural Britain,” Pitcher asserted that people who appeared on the show were unable to communicate their bigoted political beliefs for fear of being called racist and were therefore expressing, “their racial identity in other ways, such as talking about gardening.”

“The distinction that gets made between native species and non-native species and this kind of policing of what belongs and what does not belong I think is symptomatic of a kind of desire to defend the fantasy of the national space,” said Pitcher, adding that the show, which probably qualifies as one of the most inoffensive radio programs ever made, was “saturated” with racist language.

Former professor of cultural studies Lola Young agreed with Pitcher, comparing efforts by gardeners to destroy unfavorable flowers such as rhododendrons with violent racist attacks on Pakistanis.

Stefan Buczacki, a regular guest on the show, labeled Pitcher’s claims “utterly absurd,” noting that, “His comments show a complete lack of understanding of the natural world.”

“They come and go, and adapt to different environments. That is what we mean by native and non-native species. It has nothing whatsoever to do with nationalism or racism,” said Buczacki, adding, “There is enough real racism in the world without looking for it in places it doesn’t exist.”

It is important to emphasize that this issue is not a piece of satire or a hoax - academics in the UK have genuinely claimed that using mundane gardening terms is secret code for racism.

This ludicrous story reminds us that there is a strong undercurrent of cultural marxism which still dominates the academic establishment across the western world.

The notion that using common gardening terms when talking about soil or plants could be considered racist has no basis in logical reality whatsoever and makes as much sense as claiming that the use of terms such as “black sheep” is also a racist thought crime.

Once again, this is about control freak Liberal collectivists attempting to police language and demonize political positions by invoking racism where none whatsoever exists.

wait - are they trying to posit (they = the researchers making this first claim) that multi-cultural folk on the island do not make or tend gardens ?

Hmmmmmm

I am starting to notice a trend with our new person here.

No. I think they are trying to say that some people are invasive species. Given some of the posts I've seen here that could be true.

[Darnell 8,478]

ya - if'n you have some memory of posting patterns, writing patterns, is straight-forward to ascertain which banned member this really is.

I don't think it's KIP, atm.

No. I think they are trying to say that some people are invasive species. Given some of the posts I've seen here that could be true.

Oh - for that island - it could certainly appear that way. Thanks for clarification, I actually understand it now.

What new person? A new handle, sure. A new person? Not so much.

I like playing pretend. It is a good game.

Its ok as long as you don't sow your seed after.

Are you telling us that you would germinate with an invasive species? eeuw that's gross.

Word, next thing you know you're hit with a paternity test and there's a court order for you pay "seedling" support. Which is BS because I know I saw like five other guys throwing seeds out in the soil. Frankly its the soil's fault for being so perfectly tilled. Who wouldn't want to through some seeds into those finely tilled rows?

It's stories like that why I would rather stay home and shuck my corn.

Filth. On the other hand, salad tossing is very family friendly
