didn't know where this should go but not only was I horrified by it but also this comment posted on the Sky news site
What a load of fuss over nothing. Whatever happened to the famous British (ie English, Welsh, Scottish, N.Irish) sense of humour, and the ability to laugh at everything. Presumably that's been diluted by the influx of too many foreigners who call themselves "British". Taking the mickey out of anybody (via race, height, weight, sex, sexual orintation etc) occurs everywhere daily. Grow up & take it. He's willing to take the money, he'll have to take the flak
then followed by this
What an over reaction, it's just a few kids having a laugh
It this attitude still alive and well??? (btw, there were comments from British people).. I work with Spanish people and they were ashamed at the comment made as they are already been branded racist due to the Football ruling last year. Are we not here to teach our kid tolerance and respect for everyone??? comment like that really doesn't make me wonder why there is still racism in the world today
