It will be interesting to see how this develops over the next couple of days.

Laila has been quoted as saying “This happened a few weeks back, before we went on air. Since then we’ve settled our differences, We’ve been having a great time since then, so I would like to move on”.

It offends just like the N word does for people with dark skin. I find it repulsive that people talk about Pc in the same sentence as the word P**i. If someone said the word White honkey or red neck, or white b******d there would be an up roar. This is a racist term which was trivialised by Prince Harry and the British press. And used to batter and murder Asians in the UK by the BNP and NF. How sad.

We shouldn’t make any stereotypes about anybody especially the way we look. LAILA HAD A LOT OF HUMILITY AND SELF CONTROL TO TAKE IT AND FURTHER HER CAREER BUT AT THE SAME TIME I BET SHE FELT HURT INSIDE. Don’t think she isn’t familiar with racism in the UK, she starred in Shoot on Sight; one of the best movies that highlighted racial divides in the UK post 77 and hence was never supported by the Eurocentric media. We the majority of Asians are appalled and I think anyone else who says that word are racist (scum). If you were Asian you would be offended, but obviously none of the right wing media who say PC is over the top are Asian so they just let it continue.

This word causes a division in the country like the N word does in the deep south. It needs to be treated sensitively and he should be sacked and made an example of. I bet he gets knighted by Prince Harry also another racist person. I might start making racist slants at people and then say IT WAS IN JEST I SAID YOU DRESSED LIKE A WHITE *******.
