A bottle of wine never hurt anyone !
Im in favour of Borat for President. Its about time the english humour got a great non PC airing on media like cinema. I love Ricky Gervais, Peter Kay and Steve Coogan, all of whom are british and take the p*ss out of ethnic minorities. Its our humor, if the ethnic peeps dont like it, then go to a country (pref. your own) where you don't need to worry. Ill be saying 'half cast', and mimicing asians till my time is out ! its just funny!

EVERYONE has a right to their own opinion.
By saying that if the ethnic people don't like it they should go back to their own country you are being just as bad as the pc brigade.
And what about the "ethnic minority" that were born here or the British people such as myself who don't agree with you, where should we go?
I agree that the whole pc thing has gone crazy and many of the "ethnic minority" feel the same. It's the government that has done this so go preach to them.
I too believe a bottle of wine never hurt anyone, I think Borat is great as is Peter Kay and all the others.......
But I don't agree with you saying half cast or mimicking any race, actually it's not funny.
I'd like to see how you would feel if you lived in another country and was treated that way. Oh yes, then you'd be joining the pc brigade!!!!
There is a big difference between, teasing and taking the mick between family and friends, we know it is not meant literally or in a nasty way. However if someone you don't know says something of course you will take it personally, I would!
The whole pc thing is just tact and respect gone over the top. Everyone likes to have a laugh but not at someone else's expense.

Spot on Wizard - English humour has always had that touch of piss taking out of the ethnics and its only recently it has become a problem. Look at how Jim Davidson started with Chalkie and Bernard Mannings jokes were all about Paki's and the like. No one bothered until the PC brigade got up in arms - its just harmless fun and banning us from saying these jokes just makes it worse and us more determined to keep them going xxxx

Yep, in an ideal world you would be right...well a few years ago we could do that. What a bloody shame the pc brigade ever started! The world needs a sense of humour injection!

I think maybe we English folk just know how to laugh at ourselves and so we don't understand how anyone else can't, in my family we're always taking the mick out of each other and it's fine, but in some ethnic familys to joke about one's father and mother is worth a flogging! Maybe given time it'll get better when they learn we don't mean anything personally, but teasing is just what we do best!

As an Asian and a Hindu I'll be supporting and laughing WITH you.
The PC potty people have to learn to have a sense of humour.
Those that do not like a laugh once every so often can go back as to a country (pref. your own) as you so rightly you say.
If it's all part of humour in us as humans.
Who are these PC nuts to take our freedom to laugh.
So here's one
A Pakistani arrives in London as a new immigrant to the UK.
He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says, "Thank you Mr. British, for letting me in this country, and giving me free housing, food, free medical care, affirmative action job and free education!"
But the passer-by says, "You are mistaken, I am a Nigerian. I'm just here for the free medical care"
The man goes on and encounters another passer-by. "Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in UK!"
The person says, "I'm not British, I'm from Somalia. I'm just here for the free housing, food, free medical care and free education!"
The new arrival walks further and the next person he sees he stops, shakes hands and says, "Thank you for the wonderful UK!"
That person puts up his hand and says, "I am from Morocco, I'm not British ...I'm just here for the free housing, food, free medical care and free education!"
He finally sees a lady and asks suspiciously, "Are you British? She says, "No, I am from Ghana!" So he is puzzled and asks her, "Where are all the British?"
The Ghana lady looks at her watch, shrugs, and says......."Probably at work!"

You laugh at what you find funny. Obviously you are not the sensitive type.
Why are you spelling "humour" like an American?
