The fuss that has been made over Wendy Richard's comments are totally and utterly pathetic. It's this ludicrous level of political correctness that has made this country the over-sensitive, whiney, pathetic place to live that it is. You can't say ANYthing without being accused of being 'racist' or 'sexist' and heaven knows what else.

Men are afraid to compliment a woman in case he is hoiked over the coals and fired for 'sexual harrassment,' and you can't fly your 'Merry Christmas' banners in some towns for fear of offending 'ethnic minorites.' My town luckily isn't so ridiculous and doesn't ban Christmas; but if it did I would celebrate it anyway!!! What I say is if you don't like my England flag or Merry Christmas sign; LOOK THE OTHER WAY. I would NEVER tell someone of another race or religion to take their country's flag down; Especially if they were IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY

And now we have a elderly lady making an innocent comment that she can't differentiate between Chinese and Thai, and she gets accused of being RACIST. STUPID STUPID STUPID! THAT's what it is; I know MANY people - myself included, who struggle to tell Chinese and Thai and Malaysian and suchlike apart. They DO look similar; it's not a racist remark, and I am not STUPID; this is a FACT. Just like some African races look similar. If I see a black person, I don't know if their ethnic origin originates from from Ghana or South Africa or Sierra Leonne or whatever. Similarly with Scandinavia; I can't tell a Dane from a Norwegian.

And when I was in Spain last year, me and my husband and daughter were mistaken for SWEDISH, because we are all fair skinned and blue-eyed... Were we offended and huffy and ranting about how utterly mortified we were, and calling the race relations board? NO, because we're not pathetic whiney whingers who have NOTHING ELSE TO MOAN ABOUT.

Political correctness has gone TOO FAR. Whilst there NEEDED to be something in place to protect ethnic minorities from abuse in this country; like sexual equality, political correctness has gone too far, and it is now just coming across and ridiculous, silly, and laughable, and actually extremely annoying.

Just a guess but methinks you're a Daily Mail reader. A pretty gullible one, even by their vacuous standards!

Anyone want to play ‘spot the cliché? I make it 27.

well she is old... old people are well racist

[ThisIsMarie]

I didn't notice her saying anything bad.

[RachelFan08]

All this time i thought wendy richards was a good actor, but shes just as miserable off screen as she was on it

[jcdub]

There was even something on this in the paper, saying she didn't realise oriental was offensive and blaming it on the books she read as a child xD

Wendy Richards hasn't been interesting since 1963 when she had that hit song with Mike Sarne (Come Outside).

"Posts deleted. StevieG and cliffsbananas banned. ThisisMarie you will be banned if insults are used again."

I had to laugh when I saw that on the "I actually miss Mohamed, anyone else?" board. It had to happen sooner or later. Yet another racist/xenophobic remark about Oriental or Welsh people, Marie, was it? Well deserved!

[RachelFan08]

haha

None of brandstifter's posts make any sense if you ask me... From what I can see, they just make inane and pointless comments, and attack people who put comments that they don't like, by accusing them of being racist/fascist/daily mail readers/snobs and God knows what else, if they have the temerity to say that they are sick of political correctness.

People like brandstifter, who are left-wing and attack anyone who DARES to challenge political correctness, make me sick, and it's people like this who make this country the pain of a place it is to live in, because we're always so afraid of offending ethnic minorities...

Well *I* am sick of being told what to do and what to say, by people who are left wing do-gooders; and if that makes you assume I am a racist, fascist, right wing, nazi daily mail reader; then so be it. I know the truth about myself and my political views and what literature I read, and so on; but I and have no intention of justifying myself or explaining myself to anyone.

And in case you haven't noticed 'brandstifter,' NO-ONE has responded to your comments attacking me and my posts. You must be so disappointed. I stick to my opinions and apologise for nothing, and if you don't like it; well you can just carry on with your bra-burning, reading the 'socialist worker,' and 'feminist weekly;' get another piercing and another tattoo, take your four kids by four different men to school, and plan who to attack next. See I can be judgemental too.

Number of cliches spotted here???? Who cares??? No-one but you it seems brandstifter!

ohhh not very nice =[
