Apology after 'racist' tannoy reprimand for Eastern European man
http://news.sky.com/story/apology-af...eggar-10659376
I honestly cannot understand what is wrong with people to take offence with this article.
In NO way is the comment racist.
Why cannot the company just plainly say. Please go away. What the guy has said is in no way a racist remark.
Grow up people

Re: What is wrong with people
Sounds racist to me Arthur.
Have to say most of the beggars I come across aren't immigrants, whether they are genuine or not is always the dilemma.

Re: What is wrong with people
I don't think it was racist. Funny perhaps, but not racist.

Re: What is wrong with people
There's not many that will consider this racist.
Locally, the unknown announcer is receiving pretty unanimous support from the Facebook warriors.

Re: What is wrong with people
What if the person concerned wasn't from another country and presumptions made ? Not that it makes it any better.

Do those facebook warriors equally condemn the British beggars hanging around the bars in the Bigg Market .It was racist but that's not to say he shouldn't have moved the beggar on ,the way the operator did it was asking for trouble

Re: What is wrong with people
Another colossal waste of time because of the "I'm offended" idiots.
Its not even remotely racist, nor is it "offensive", and how did this even "offended" any passengers ?
The only person with anything to moan about would be the begger, but nothing suggests they complained.
What a bunch of no hopers these people have become, how do they manage to survive life when they are so easily "offended" by everything.

Re: What is wrong with people
Racism has become almost an industry with many happy to shout it and accuse others of being it, it's a great way to shut up people you can't argue against and the media has aided in spreading the gospel of racism.

Re: What is wrong with people
Since when is "eastern European" a race, so quick to label people and admonish them without stopping to check whether the label fits

That's part of what makes it racist ,the station is unmanned so the announcer had no idea where the beggar was from and made an assumption based on looks or their own personal feelings towards 'foreigners' .Like i said earlier ,the announcer was right to move the beggar on it's just the choice of words was wrong
