Wow, he made a joke about people from another country - like that's really rare.

Re: Atkinson resigns after making a racist comment

I seems to recall Prince Philip saying some rather uncomplementary things about the Chinese as well.

I'd be happy to forgive Ron's N-word slipup as well - if you feel that someone deserves an insult for their performance or actions (not just for being of another race), why is a racial insult worse than any other? I'm sure he'd say a lot worse in the changing rooms, if it was deserved!

And surely using an offensive word cannot be as serious as kicking a football boot at someone. Maybe we need our sportsmen to be cross when they lose, and our managers to be free with both praise and criticism - we might actually win something!

There's too much political correctness these days, next thing, we won't be allowed to tell the "Englishman, Scotsman, Irishman" jokes.

Or the one where two sharks are swimming along, and one says to the other "Fancy going to Morcambe bay for a chinese?".
