No it isn't racist, but it's really offencive. She keeps bringing up the fact that he's from Yorkshire all the time. Like the word 'Yorkshire' is a slur.
She thinks he's thick because he's norhtern.
''He talks about binal things like YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS''
''He's just a Yorkshire pudding''
She is so rude. Why would someone talk about yorkshire puddings all the time just because they are from Yorkshire.
Northerners are just benieth her. Obviously.

No it's not racist.
That word gets bandied about far too much these days imo, as well as the word bully.
However she did mean it as an insult, and it's not the first time she's done this.
She also called Isaac a redneck, and a hillbilly, without knowing what either word meant, but she meant it as an insult.
She also looks down on Lisa for being on the dole.
It seems to me that Queen Bea measures everyone else against her own feeling of self importance. She is most certainly a snob.

Well I'm from Yorkshire and if someone called me a Yorkshire Pudding I would just laugh. I hate David I think he's an idiot. To use the insult on him might be offensive to because 'pudding' can be meant as an alternative for idiot or stupid.
It's like calling someone fat! To a fat person this is insulting, to a skinny person they would just laugh.

A white/British person......nope, not at all.
An Indian or someone from that area of Asia, it could be interpreted that way. Depends on why you're calling them one, if you mean it as an insult when you call it them. Surely to call them it you are digging at their culture/background and it implies a negative insult?

I bet you 70% of the people who complain are people who don't even watch the show and have nothing better to do then to complain about Channel 4 programmes and the fact that they pay for a TV license and so therefore they should be able to choose what......blah blah blah and the rest of it!

It isn't racist at all. She was using a Yorkshire Pudding to illustrate her point. First of all, she said that he spoke of banal things. Banal means boring or ordinary. So what she was doing was calling him boring and ordinary.
Let's change the words around so that it is more clear:
David talks of boring things like dry toast all the time! David is a piece of dry toast!
Is that racist? No.

Shilpa was extremely dignified both in and outside the house, she never once said that she was happy about the treatment Jade & Jo were getting afterwards. And to make a comment like it was all Shilpas fault about the way people reacted to Jade & Jo is ridiculous!!
