Tony and bigotry

Tony presents himself as fair loving man with liberal viewpoints on race and sexuality. His squeaky-clean PR is undermined by his actions and words on the air.



Homophobia
Many of Tony's callers fall within the LGBT spectrum. Despite himself claiming to support the movement, his reactions to gay callers brings this into question.


 * Rico: hates him for saying 'dick suck' and calling in with dirty song parodies
 * Alfonso: hates him for going on about cocks and balls and hitting on him
 * Kent Hopper: hates him for taking away Pastor Ken's listeners, and for mispronouncing words
 * Tony Farrar: hates him for abusing his bf Pastor Ken and for his dumb laugh
 * Barry Schwartz: hates him for selling bootleg TonyTalk merchandise
 * Joshua Higgins: hated him for promoting his prostitution services on TonyTalk, and nasty calls
 * Filthy Phil Burnell: hates him for also promoting his prostitution services on TonyTalk
 * Thom: sighs whenever he calls in, is clearly not comfortable talking to him
 * called Joseph Gibson a faggot in his rap diss track
 * called cobrajeff92 a faggot when ranting at him
 * called Sal's tattoos 'faggy'
 * almost called Barry Schwartz a faggot for selling the bootleg TonyTalk merchandise
 * classified homosexuals as non-normal callers
 * called Lieutenant Guile a faggot
 * called out the 'gays and fags and queers' in his vitriolic voicemail to Jaybo

Racism
Tony is hardly a full-blown racist a la Jesco but he has made several racist gaffs:


 * saying the word 'nigger' around fifty times total (though almost never as an intentional slur)
 * accused of hanging up on Beanie Loko and Rico because they're Hispanic
 * assumed that Asians, especially Chinese, are stereotypically skinny
 * claimed that Jews run things in the United States
 * calling a Chinese caller a 'chink' (this one was an intentional slur)
 * tends to repeat racial slurs others have made, whether written or spoken
 * said the N-word in the presence of DCII repeatedly
 * left DCII a voicemail in which he said the N-word again
 * called the COVID-19 coronavirus the "chink thing"
 * said "fucking blacks" after DCII angrily pointed out Tony's increasing racism
 * said that the name 'Rico' is a stupid Mexican name
 * mocked the fact that Willy Wong is from China
 * allows racial slurs to be said so long as that person is denouncing the slurs (i.e. Jesco)
 * called DCII his "coloured friend", showing how much of an out-of-touch boomer he is
 * said "chink" multiple times in the presence of Willy Wong
 * called Nostalgia64 on Discord the n-word in a private chat
 * stated he isn't an anti-Semite, and then said 'kike' a few seconds later

Sexism
It is a stretch to think that Tony is sexist but he has his moments:


 * every female caller (except Madeleine Mitten) is hit on, even his guest Reece Cotton
 * objectifies women by referring to just their sides and hitting those sides
 * calls every woman who is complaining as a "broad"
 * obviously upset when Ashley revealed herself to be in a lesbian relationship
 * assumed that Gina is only dating BBF for his money
 * called a woman a lesbian just because she rejected his advances
 * thinks he can convert his lesbian neighbour as if sexuality works like that
 * told Gina that if it were the 1960's, she would stay in the kitchen and be silent
 * now thinks of women as only good for sex and squeezing out babies
