Must not call a white person a Pakistani?



So who exactly is being racist here if it is an insult to call someone a Pakistani? What is wrong with being a Pakistani? Nobody seems to be answering that. I certainly wouldn't say that some of my best friends are Pakistani but I have eaten in many Pakistani restaurants and have always found the people perfectly pleasant and competent. Muslim fundamentalist Pakistanis are however a different kettle of fish, of course. But as a TV dancer the lady above is obviously no fundamentalist

"The BBC are holding crisis talks to discuss the future of shamed Strictly Come Dancing professional Anton Du Beke after complaints to the BBC over his 'Paki' remark quadrupled today.

Du Beke's future on the show is said to be in the balance after the 43 year-old called his dance partner a 'Paki' during an exchange witnessed by 15 other people on the show.

Today complaints to the BBC rose to 261 and pressure is now mounting on the corporation to axe the dancer for his racist comments to Footballer's Wives star Laila Rouass, 38, with one BBC source claiming Du Beke is a 'dead man dancing'.

Laila, whose mother is Indian and father Moroccan is said to have been left distraught after the 43-year-old dancer said: 'Oh my God, you look like a Paki!'. Du Beke made the offensive remark after seeing the celebrity contestant emerge after a spray tan in preparation for her first appearance on the BBC1 show.

It is understood the BBC is not intending to take any action against Du Beke and wants to 'draw a line' under the incident.

I think the Beeb are for once being smart about this. As you can see from the photo above, the lady is in fact white. The "offensive" remark was uttered after a spray tan had made her look darker. As far as I can see, it was just a way of saying that the spray tan was overdone.
