The garden group do not tend to have deep, intellectual conversations, and their backgrounds seem to be more typically working class.

To me, that is the reason why certain people have connected and why the two groups have formed. (And this comes from someone from a traditional working class background, who independently put themselves through a university education a little later than average).

i think that is certainly a factor and it could easily be driving all the conflict

She literally spoke about it on the podcast task.

How is asking to talk about the topic rather than making personal attacks attempting to 'shut down' a conversation or 'manipulating' someone?

Be serious.

This post is ridiculous.

Anyhow, I have zero interest in cluttering up the thread with this any more than it has, so if you want to discuss it with me any more feel free to PM.

I still think it is slightly racial but I don’t think it’s a conscious thing. I don’t think they think they are better than Trish but they are certainly labelling her as the ‘angry black woman’ because she’s opinionated but they label Olivia as ‘strong minded’ it’s a joke tbh

See, here is the real problem.

You are arguing a feeling and then asking for people to debate that feeling with you and give evidence to disprove a thing that only exists in your head as your own subconscious bias.

Look, Olivia, and I am NOT a fan... I support Trish, is not seen as angry simply because she hasn't had a meaningful stand up angry argument with anyone in there.

Trish has at least a couple of times.

I like Trish a lot, but this isn't about the two women being 'strong', it's about how they have behaved outside of that. The truth is that Trish can def get angry and loves a fight. I don't even see a problem with that though personally. I quite like that about her.

As I say, if you only see everything through a racial lens then suddenly everying looks racist even when it isn't.

Trish is like a schoolmarm or your mother giving you endless lectures. After awhile that becomes irritating. She loves hearing herself talk. When she’s in the room with a bunch of people, who’s the one talking endlessly to everyone? Trish. The crew outside talk mostly about inane things while Trish is pontificating about the injustices of life. I don’t dislike her. She’s helped a lot of people in there, and I’d even be pleased if she won, however, it’s easy to see how she can become annoying to people, at least after awhile.
