Jade Goody's dead

Well stereotypes or not I meant that phrases such as 'that ticks all the correct Guardian reader boxes' and 'may not have done any of the things the middle class find so distasteful' are fairly 'broad-brush' (or whatever the saying is) remarks that somewhat belittle your arguments.
If you feel that many of the attacks on this dead woman are made because of her class or social status don't you feel that it's not too persuasive to retort with arguments containing class-based generalisations built on the same foundations as those you are arguing against?

Isn't this a variation on the (flawed) argument: "you say white society is prejudiced against black people; therefore you are racist towards white people"?

I don't think there's anything wrong in Tynan pointng out that John Diamond was lucky enough to have the opportunity to fulfill upper middle class expectations of conduct when he died, and that Goody didn't have that luxury. It's worth pointing out the position of priviledge that the shit being flung at this woman is coming from.
