Pink supremacists

[depakid]

After receiving hate mail, with the usual epithets and misspellings, a columnist responds.

....At the moment white supremacy seems to be rising: every day you read something in newspapers or see something on telly about anti-immigration Hansonesque groups in Australia or neo-Nazis demonstrators marching in America or far-right nationalists having bum-spanking Nazi sex-orgies in England. ''Danke Herr Commandant, may I haff another?''

But in all the photos and news-clips of white supremacists, they never seem to be white-skinned people at all - they all seem to be more … pink, actually. White supremacists are always just about the pinkest people you'll ever see, pink faces, pink necks, pink eyes. And not a funky breast cancer awareness fluoro-pink - more a ruddy, sickly, washed-out pink, a taut goitre-swelling pink, a parboiled pig's face on a MasterChef invention-test pink.

And the more supreme the supremacist, the more pink their pinkness. So I wonder if white supremacists should actually be allowed to call themselves white at all. Maybe only if they are albinos or anaemic vegans who wear Swastika-ponchos. The rest of them should be called pink supremacists: they should be out and proud pink people who treasure their pink heritage and pink power. That means they can no longer call gay people "pink" because gay people are not as pink as them.

Gay people are more Ella Bache Skin Bronzer in burnt sienna. So to my pink-supremacist letter-writer, look forward to hearing from you in four years, and next time include a return address so I can send a nice thank-you card and a signed photo of me at my Bar Mitzvah.
