Maybe you're misunderstanding, I haven't suggested Walliams is purposely attempting to offend asians.

That doesn't make it any less problematic all the same.

Then where is your issue?... There was no intent and you have nothing to base your suspicions that it may or may not offend Asians.

Is this an example of the PC gone mad culture I hear so much about,someone becoming offended over nothing on behalf of others?

It sounds suspiciously like it.

What's my issue?

Read the thread.

It's like Emily Parr in BB, she didn't intend any offence at all but it didn't change the fact that what she said was completely inappropriate and offensive on a few levels.


If you find the likes of blackface and yellowface "nothing" that's your business but that doesn't make my viewpoint any less valid.

The two examples are not comparable, I remember a time it was hilarious to dress as bin laden... that involves changing skintone and accentuating the nose a tad, where was the uproar?

I don't recall you making a thread about that.

I also don't recall that being popular or funny.

Maybe that's the issue here, you don't see a problem with Blackface and find it humorous.

The two examples were to compare situations where something offensive is done but without actual intent from the person doing it.

Please don't put words in my mouth.
I didn't make this thread and yet I'm commenting, it was very popular at one time therefore many must have found it amusing.

Again you can't compare racist slurs to this satirical dig at one dictator in my opinion.

We're not talking about the dig at a dictator. We're talking about him changing his skin tone and facial features to mimic an Asian.

I haven't put any words in your mouth. You called it humorous. Not me.

I've already pointed out the comparison I was making which was about intent not always having to be there for something to be completely inappropriate and ignorant.
