Ron's comment was a joke, it was a dark joke. The dark joke requires a mature, sensible audience. A dark joke usually comes with a warning when shown to an audience. The warning was a requirement.

The stereotype joke has always been acceptable in the past, it has appeared on many shows including Only Fools And Horses. Recently OFAH had all of the stereotypical jokes removed. These are new times for people of Ron's age. Anyway OFAH was ruined by the censorship.

So a warning is required, and that should be enough. The warning was slightly too harsh, and too long. Ron already admitted to being in the wrong, but the warning continued to build in intensity. I feel that some of the arguments on here are based on the Warning being intensified. People have become intensified by the length of the warning.

A quick warning with Ron realising his mistake was enough. Ron admitted to his mistake. That was enough.

You can create more damage with an over the top warning than the original joke. This thread can create more damage to relations than the joke by over-defending the warning. "Get Ron Out!".. over-defending the warning.
..actually I hadn't noticed the length of the warning, I'm not sure it has got any bearing on the comments in this thread..I agree with you that a warning was required and given and that should be the end of it because Ron himself saw what he said was wrong but I think the thread's being elongated because of the excuses made for him saying it when Ron makes no excuses himself...he's not a racist but he made a racist joke, it was extremely stupid, there was no excuse for it but that warning had to be given...
