theweaselkingJames May's "why people who object to racism in SF/F are THE REAL RACISTS".
(no, not the famous James May. A completely different James May. Not one you've heard of, I think, although I could be wrong. Point is: Not the famous James May.)
You may, as I did, feel a sense of deja vu at a number of his idiotic statements. That's because his previous many-thousand-word-salad was directed at John Scalzi, who summarised it as "Overthinking, Done Poorly and At Length"
May has not improved either his thinking or his length in the year since that: At the far end of the link is what Word tells me is *one hundred and twenty-seven THOUSAND* words of word salad about how people who object to racism in SF/F are totally as bad as Hitler[1]. And this is "Part 2". One shudders about "part 1".

james_nicoll, this seems like the kind of thing you'd enjoy laughing at/linking to the unsuspecting/would cry over. And, because of your MPR tag, I feel you deserve this one.
[1]: Bonus: I'm not exaggerating. I dare you to search for the word "Hitler" and see his various sentiments and his followup sentences. Memetic prophylactic recommended.
