Prince C is now racist - Sooty Dhillon

[flyingfeet]

Ok now everyone knows Sooty as Sooty - I played polo with his son and daughter

Bloody press

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/7826701.stm

Oh FFS - the report even states that "Mr Dhillon is said to be "utterly comfortable" with it". How is this news?

 

[YorksG]

Yet more rubbish

 

[flyingfeet]

Apparently I'm racist as are the hunt and the polo club! However when a chap introduces himself as "Sooty Dhillon" when you meet him what are you supposed to do???

 

[HenryandPeta]

Complete and utter stupidity by the press yet again!! The Dhillons are old clients of mine, I was told to call Sooty, Sooty by the man himself!!!

 

[mrogers]

Maybe hes mean Sooty in a "Sooty and Sweep" way?

So does that now mean that the producers of Sooty and Sweep where racist too ?

[henryhorn]

[Kentisheventer]

What a joke! what will the press thin of next!?

 

[Halfstep]

What a load of rubbish. FFS, isn't there any real news out there at the moment - like, err, Gaza maybe? GRRRGGGHHHHHH.

 

[RLF]

Good god what next, will my GSD Dog's name ' Deutsche ' be deemed offensive to the German folk.

just what I suspected!

 

[brighteyes]

What if he 'Asianised' his name to Sutti? Perhaps we could ask him to do that to save our embarassment and politically correctness and discomfort...

A friend phoned last night, I called my OH - Taffs on the phone I said, followed by oh no I can't call you that it's racist (I am welsh living in england too but don't have a strong accent)

 

[michaelj]

Ahh FFS! Absolute tripe!

I read a letter to the Ed some time back. Teacher asked 5 year old girl "Why do you call (sorry cannot remember the name of black child) Sambo? Small child replied "Cos he's my best friend"
We also had a lamb called Blackie and the first horse I ever rode was Blackie and his companion was Prince.
I don't see any newspapers complaining of too much sex and swearing especially the F word on TV and printed matter or even in the street. Grrr

Sorry.....you'll have to tell us your real name now, we can't possibly call you by your nickname.

I had a cat that I named Sooty and I named her that because she was black - i am a racist.

IMHO, it's crap like this that builds resentment racism & discrimination. Our freedom of speech is becoming so restricted in case what we say offends someone from an ethnic minority background. Half the time it wouldn't anyway. Were any black people really offended by the existance of golliwogs? as in the toy or jam?
