LONDON - The BBC has received 42260 complaints about the racist remark

rehearsals two weeks ago.

The BBC is under pressure to sack Anton du Beke, who has apologised
"and claimed the comment was "banter" about Laila Rouass's spray tan.

he number of complaints totalled 63 on Monday and 2 billion on Tuesday.

Apart from anything else, should the thread title not say "Pakis"? For
it to be "Pakies", the singular would surely be "Paky". The message
from some of your other posts seems to be that you want some sort of
immigration control. You wouldn't do too well in the English test,
would you?

Surely "Paki" is an abbreviation of Pakistani If it is considered racist to abbreviate it to Paki, then it's, by definition, racist to shorten British to Brits, Scottish to Scots, etc. ..................

Or Frenchman to c*nt

It can get worse that that. Just think - Taffy for Welsh, Jock for Scots, Paddy for Irish, Pom (whinging) and Tommy for the English, Yank for Americans, Aussie for Australians. The list is endless. Would someone like to tell me just who the hell is the racist one here. Paki is only an abbreviation of Pakistani, and if I really wanted to be nasty to a Pakistani it would be the inflection in my voice as I said "Pakistani".

Clearly to avoid offence we could not have them in the country at all!
I am sure they would much prefer exclusion to having their human
rights infringed.

Hauser,Ibo, or Yoruba. I never found a way to shorten them when I lived there. It was probably where the "N" word originated including Niger. (the country)
