Only by complete bloody lunatics, but we digress. Keep on reading, if just to see how the woke left are not only eating each other alive but biting chunks off themselves in their current madness:

Ms Law said she decided to post the apology – “owning [her] mistakes and errors completely” – after an anonymous Twitter user posted clips from the scene.

The apology appeared hours after this masthead had approached Ms Chen for comment on Bloomers. Ms Law has not responded to recent requests for comment from The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, and has been vocal in her criticism of the mastheads for recently appointing five freelance cultural critics, all of whom were white (two of whom resigned in protest over the lack of cultural diversity among the five critics).

“If you’ve held me to account over this, I’m very grateful,” Ms Law tweeted. “I’m also sorry you had to invest energy and time to do so.

“It’s entirely fair those coming after me are using with the same rhetoric I’ve been using. This conversation is part of a bigger and vital dialogue now, one in which I’m committed to participating. I’ll continue asking all parties hold themselves to account. That includes me.”

In a statement, Ms Chen said the scene was “indefensible”.

“As many people have been doing in the last few weeks, I have been reflecting on my own blindspots with regards to behaviour in my work, actions that may seem harmless but are actually incredibly hurtful to certain people, or are perpetuating systemic racism,” Ms Chen wrote.

“Within that reflection, I have been educating myself on the history of blackface and how it has been used as an instrument of oppression, the systematic racism it represents and how it’s been normalised within my own framework as a non-European settler.

“For that reason, the call was made to take down Bloomers, which included a scene that is indefensible, that I am horrified by and I am sorry to have been involved in. We didn’t draw public attention to the removal because honestly, as it’s a short film that didn’t get much of a festival run and didn’t win any major awards, we didn’t think it was of public interest. We just did what we thought was right.

“I appreciate you for holding me accountable and we should all continue to do so to work towards a more just and equal society.”

Perhaps this is all an almighty set up to allow the loopy left to slam Christians who receive the ashes next Ash Wednesday of racism.

Anything’s possible right now. Anything.
