So what do you think should happen now?

Should the Police get involved?
Should the BBC fire him?
Should he be branded a racist for the rest of his days?
Should he give money to a charity?
Or now that he's apologised, shall we just move on?
Or something else?

I don't know nor do I care. Like I said, I don't think any offence was intended by him and like him.

I was responding to you claiming it's not a racist joke, when it is.

But you continue deflecting and moving the goalposts of the discussion. Carry on.

Did I claim it wasn't a racist joke? I thought I just said that we can't keep shouting racist every time a non White is the punchline.

I think those sweets are the business of the lady that won the apprentice.

15 notes for a few little sweets is highway robbery. You'd have to be made of money to purchase them.

yeah they are

and £15 for the Sweets in the City or £1 for a wee tub of them down at the Co-Op - I’ll go Co-Op, ta

his excuse for the high prices is that they come in a nice little box with a personalised message

Implying the joke doesn't deserve the racist tag?

If you thought it was racist you wouldn't have a problem with it being called such.
