I agree that is sometimes taken too far, but there are some things that just aren't acceptable: sexism and racism being two of them!

I don't even know if its about PC so much as respecting peoples feelings and trying not to offend them. Clearly he was intending to be offensive for the most part. Though I'm not sure he should have been removed. I would have liked to see the public choose.

Yeah, the context of the first time he said it was worse than using the actual word

It's called being a decent human being.

Not saying things that you know will deeply offend people is just a natural instinct to be respectful.

Respect for fellow human beings?

Funny thing i find is that sexism is only frowned upon when its targetted at a woman

I genuinely don't know, he was really puzzling. I can't tell if those were actually his thoughts, if he exaggerated (or both) or if he didn't think those things at all and was just trying to get voted out.

I think Freedom of speech is important and nobody should be able to tell someone what they can or can not say

Yeah men were never the oppressed sex though, it's like white people complaining about racism

Where do you draw the line though? Only when it becomes breaking the law?

Which is what he did with the racist remarks.

Jamesy 13-01-2015 12:01 PM

Ken only used one word. One. The N word. How the feck can that upset loads of people. He used it in a genuine conversation. Have people really become that sensitive to get upset over ONE word :umm2:

If Ken said "oi Alexander you ****ing black n*****" then yes I would be very against it but he didn't.

No he did not stop making things up he said them in a conversation he didnt attack anyone with them

Liam- 13-01-2015 12:03 PM

The man called Alexander a 'big fat *insert racism here*' how is that not using it as a personal insult?

He used a derogatory term to describe black people, he used derogatory language towards the women, he mocked Patsy's background...

He still said them though, and he knew he had already been given a formal warning for it. I don't like how he was treated either, but if you are warned and choose to ignore it, you take the consequences. As Ken made it clear he wanted to be thrown out, its fair to assume he said it again intentionally.
