Quite simple really, if we're going to decide that simply being on TV doesn't make something racist, then I'm going to use Jim Davidson as my reference when I use humorous names for referencing black people, I'll probably do it in that oh so funny accent that he used to effect.

Ah I had totally forgot Davisons character, I was thinking about Love Thy Neighbour

I think BG was quoting from the Scriptures, not referencing a bad old sitcom.

I've seen the phrase 'N-word' used in American media over the years and recently over here (although I've only took notice with this Jeremy Clarkson story). Is arranging six letters in a certain way to form a word really that terrible?

I think that it is awful to call somebody a lovely (don't know if that will pass the filters) or use it in the way theat Clarkson did but is it really that bad that we would all be terribly shocked to see it written down or here it said aloud?
