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!
