They were on dodgy ground with the whole row over chicken if they'd had started going down the road of that's how "those" people cook.

I'm seen more racism going on about him outside the house though, even in here, people slagging off him wearing a skirt without even realising it's part of his culture. That's probably more stupidity than anything though.

I would agree with his Paula. I think all the remarks about his body hair are pretty offensive and personal and they do come over as borderline racist to me. Specially when Sally said something about tying his back hair up like his head hair. Much more offensive and frequent than his sympathetic overtones to Sally about her bunion.

Am i wrong ? i thought the reason why Sikh's wear turbans is because they can't show their hair ?
