For Big Ron!!!!!!!!!

[jackc1806]

That one was justified

[DanaC]

I think that one was fair enough.

Equating looking like someone in a turban or arab style headscarf with being a bomber is wrong.

[RichardG]

I didn't even think of it at the time he said the comment, but after Big Brother explained it I definitely see why it could be seen as offensive.

Big Ron just isn't PC.

That's like the club comedians who warn the audience that the next joke is going to be 'a bit blue' and then tell a p*ki joke. Hilarious. All in good humour, bit naughty, not for the kiddies, but only having a laugh. No harm done. Nothing meant by it.

Except there is harm done. It all adds to the general anti-muslim noise in our society.

And maybe some 'ordinary muslims' might laugh and take no offence. Some others might laugh along and not show they're stung by it. Because it's all just banter right?

It's all banter 'til some ****wit petrol bombs a mosque, or spraypaints 'Al Qaeda' on a muslim family's front door. It's all banter til members of your community are getting stopped and searched on a semi-regular basis because they look a bit suspicious in this climate of Islamaphobia.

Does it make him a bad man? No. Does it warrant some kind of censure? Absolutely.

And I do wish people would stop wheeling out the age thing. He's quick thinking enough to come up with snappy comments and one liners. It is rather unfortunate that some of his humour seems founded in racial stereotypes.

No way is this forum PC. I have seen lots of transphobic and anti trans comments made which I doubt anything has been done about.They are based on a lack of knowledge by those making those comments but that is no excuse.

It's usually better to keep your gob shut until you have done some research on something and know what you are talking about.And for goodness sake all these people complaining about things being PC are usually just making an excuse to continue with their own lack of control over how to speak to or treat other folk,

there is nothing wrong with being PC it just means thinking of others

n having manners

Especially when added to his other racist gaffs... sorry Ron is a racist, not a cross burning violent racist, but a racist nonetheless.

[aman201]

I love Big Ron, but definitely justified.

[lime]

And I was starting to warm to him

[RichardG]

It definitely was quite offensive

[Brother Leon]

Jesus. Both warnings were reasonable and fair.

[Videostar]

I agree OP...it looks like no jokes are allowed anymore.

It wasn't racist....it was not PC.

If jokes were all PC then humour would have died.

And what's that supposed to mean? Instead of being so god damn offensive try and argue your points.
