Is it racist to call somebody a \'Yorkshire Pudding\'?
 

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.

:cloud:

PMSL, sorry but calling someone a Yorkshire Pudding is not offensive. LMFAO. :joker:

She is a bitch who needs to be taken down a peg or two:yuk:

Mmm, I love Yorkshire puddings. If someone called me one I'd feel complimented, they're tasty!

No but if you call someone a 'Lancashire hot pot' you'd be in trouble.:spin2:

The trouble is tho, she does mean it as an insult and not a funny remark.

she needs to be careful or she'll get batter'd.......

:thumbs:

:laugh2: They are yummy.

It's more an insult to a fine Yorkshire delicacy

Boom Boom! :laugh:

My boyfriend is from Yorkshire. I call him much worse. :)

they mean nowt up here in Scotchland

but I take the OP's point. She is being a southern snob

im from yorkshire west yorkshire and if anybody called me a yorkshire pudding id be like ok now im going to after cry

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.

I personally wouldn't say its racist.

Is it racist to call someone a poppadom?

Apparently so...was the first I knew

how is it racist, shes just called him it coz he always talks about yorkshire puddings. lol he is a right noddy

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.

:laugh3:

im from yorkshire too and i would find it hilarious being called a yorkshire pudding! just that a lot of people take things to heart and i wouldnt be surprised if silly people have already rang "ofcom" about bea using the term "yorkshire pudding" to call someone......

what about if you was called a "pontefract cake" lol

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 like davids strong yorkshire accent :D yorkshire people who have been on big brother are either a hit or miss!

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!

you need to get a life if you think calling somebody a yorkshire pudding is racist. you also need to look up the word racist, because people from Yorkshire aren't a race.

It grates on me, I'm from South Yorkshire and it bugs the hell out of me....that might be to do with the way he talks through his nose as well and cannot hold an intellectual conversation!

Ha ha ha ha, agree!

Although, we could make a race of yorkshire people....Our country could be Yorkshire and capital city Pudding!

Guys from cheddar take offence if you call them cheese,apparently.:spin2:

yorkshire is a great place!! there is quite a bit of countryside!! and we have a great east coast :D

scarborough, bridlington!! :D

Doncaster isn't so much of a nice area, but York has a lot of nice history :spin:

Some say the best thing to come out of Yorkshire is the road into Lancashire


:joker: Ducks and runs :wink:

I found that funny! If you can't laugh at yourself then ....I can't remember the rest of the saying :shrug: :conf:

thats cruel!! you get decent people and bad people everywhere you go!!

you get nice areas and not so nice areas everywhere you go!!

You obviously need a ****ing life and find somthing worth complaining about than a ****en Yorkshire pudding :rolleyes:

East Yorkshire represent!
Hull city mate

*edit* - would probably punch Bea in the face if she called me a yorkshire pudding
tell her to **** off back to an episode of Skins

the fact is it was meant as an insult, she obviously thinks she is a cut above

Im from Yorkshire ,and VERY proud of my roots and Yorkshire puddings ,i do not find it offencive at all

Yes lad get running !! :joker: as a proud Yorkie ,i would definatly say its the other way round ,the best thing that came out of Lancashire was the road into Yorkshire
