Using racist language, parodying chauvinism in the UK and more serious issues in South Africa

Another controversy centred on racist language! This time on Strictly Come Dancing. It’s explained here by Rod Liddle. He also refers to a range of other recent incidents in the media.

Probably the best comment on this was from Sarfraz Manzoor who with a little help from Bruce Forsyth puts it all in perspective.

Then there was an article from Rod Liddle. This helps us to understand what we can and cannot say on race, sex, etc.

To top it all, some really serious stuff from South Africa; again on what the rules of behaviour are in multi-racial societies with the kind of past they have down there. I had no idea what was going on there in this respect.
