...but if Jeremy Clarkson said it the world would splutter their outrage. Again.

Taken from South Park so I'd suggest the students were being more humourous than racist!

Well yes, as they should.



What Clarkson did this time was try to disguise uttering an offensive word that is/was part of a rhyme, and the "left" need their pantomime villains to get all morally outraged about. He should have told them where to get off instead of the stupid bloody half d apology which made him look idiotic.

Cool, I'm now free to wander around calling black people "chalky".

Eh?

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.

..then we're gonna have a straw man of paracetamolic proportions.

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

How could you forget something so hilarious?

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

Whisky.

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 (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?
