Patrick Fitzgerald

Actual names. Not forgetting Patrick Fitzpatrick ( I know of one ).
Ha Ha Ha Tandem Jeremy you never fail to impress
Of course its not a flipping racist joke !!!!
Ha Ha Ha Ha
😆 😆 😆 😆
Still a crap joke though
Now if there was a ****stani cloakroom atendant called Mahatma Coat would it be racist?
Talking to Hanif here, and he is'nt offended.
what do you call a woman with one leg shorter than the other?
eileen.
My mum's called eileen, and I told her that joke.
It beggars belief, the number of people that think this kind of thing is OK.
Latent racism is alive and well it seems.
Maybe Tandem Jeremy should lead the way with some of his own PC-comedy, got any jones TJ?
Careful though you've already made me laugh my c*ck off !!!
😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
F*ck my ribs hurt
It beggars belief, the number of people that think this kind of thing is OK.
Stop it please I cant breath
AARRGGGGG Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
😆 😆 😆 😆
FFS it's a play on words like Dick Head, sorry Richard.
A spokeswoman for the actor said: "He is very sorry if he has offended anyone. He was horrified when he found he had given offence.
I don't think anyone was actually offended. Its just another good excuse for an outpouring of sanctimony.
Actual names. Not forgetting Patrick Fitzpatrick ( I know of one ).
As did I a Conor O'Connor...no joke. How did the parents think that was going to work out for the fella, long term, like?
enfht the bell has rung and it's time for you to go back to class. You're incisive comments will be missed though. Run off now.
Guy I know at work is called Bob Down, now you would thing he would call himself Rob.
Gary_M what a shame you take this post more seriously than it dserves to be taken. I bet you see school boys everytime you blink, dont you... 😕
Gary is your surname Glitter by chance?
Sorry enfht I forgot that you are white supremacist scumbag.
No Glitter begins with a 'G', my name begins with an 'M' as in 'Gary_M', you really are as stupid as you appear.
It beggars belief, the number of people that think this kind of thing is OK.
Why's it racist then? Explain.
I P Freely
(apologies to all urology patients that may have been offended)
(Looks in, is amused, wanders off...)
There are some real comedians on here today. Sorry Gary I thought the M stood for "molester" I stand corrected.
Scumbag, maybe but White Supremacist my arse!!
Isn't "white" supremacist a bit of a ...RASCIST statement? I can only assume you only take umbridge with [u]white[/u] supremacists
😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
oops there goes another rib
Oh dear it's like flies to sh*t
(reads RB's post, scratches arse, goes for a dump)
Rudeboy - racist joke or not?
Why are you asking, I thought you were the moral authority on everything
What, like I molest people called Gary. But you said earlier you thought 'M' stood for 'Glitter'. It took you all that time to come up with that.
Jeez you're funny, not. Does enfht like the emoticons then, I think he does?
Why would white supremacist be a racist statement?
djglover - I thought someone who has experienced racism might be able to give some insight.
It beggars belief, the number of people that think this kind of thing is OK.Latent racism is alive and well it seems.
😆
Loving this chat. White folk are so uptight.
I met an Asian boy I used to run around with last year. I hadn't seen him in ages and I asked him what he was up to. He told me he'd just started his own business. I asked what kind of business. His reply.
"I'm a ****, what do you think I've done? I've opened a corner shop"
Lighten up folks. There are a multitude of jokes revolving around a play in someone's name. I don't hear uproar about them but because this is a play on an Indian sub-continent naming convention it's front page news 😆
Plenty call Jade racist for calling her curry-eater friend poppadom so if she's racist so is David.
if a ****stani man had said it, would it still be racist?
I've experienced racism too you halfwit
These are for you Gary 😆 😆 😆 😆
Stunning, a whole nation and it's people offended by a litle man and his joke. I swear some people must sit around in headphones listening waiting to be offended.
Perhaps I'm a thick white racist, but this petty little pun I really do believe should'nt even register let alone cause offence.
Tell you what does annoy me (just getting worm can opener)the 'N' word being perpetuated in Black film and culture.
Gary_M, don't bother mate...he's really not worth it.
djglover and molgrips, TJ fairly eloquently explained earlier why it's a racist joke, whether RudeBoy agrees or not, it still is a racist joke. I've experienced racism (not to any great extent mind) and I'd say it is. We've had worse for sure, and as usual, many have to go through verbal gymnastics to explain why it might not be racist, thereby giving the lie to their explanations.
The racism from JG was not just about the poppadom thing, it was the fact that she told her to 'get back to her own country'.
I know he's not worth it but it's probably winding the small minded idiot up.

Bugger me your brave, I aint going anywhere near that one 😯 😯 I've leave that to someone who's "allowed" to have an opinion...
And for the second time today it's 'you're brave' not 'your brave'. Did you go to school?
Crackers.
'get back to her own country'.
I'll tackle this one though....JG was totally allowed to say "go back to your own country" to someone who LIVES IN A DIFFERENT COUNTRY.
Totally diff story if she's said it to a British Asian. But the DIDNT.
WTF has the world gone mad??
RIP JG
Gary stop asking about my schooling you pervert
enfht
RIP JG
The Nation mournes its brightest star. 😥
oldgit - MemberStunning, a whole nation and it's people offended by a litle man and his joke
WTF Are you on about? There's this thread and a yahoo "news" release. hardly a whole nation offended.
I consider it racist, I'm not offended, I just think it's not on. Of course it's OK for Asians/whatever to take the piss out of their own race BoardinBob - that is entirely different. The joke was racist because it's at the expense of a minority that have and still do suffer racism. It also being a word play does not change that.
But JG was too stupid to know where Shilpa Shetty came from. And the 'get back to your own country' is one of the racists favourite phrases isn't it?
Anyway I'm not in the position really to comment on whether the 'joke' was racist or not, to me it isn't but then again I don't have any experience of direct racism.
"I'm a ****, what do you think I've done? I've opened a corner shop"
Yes, and he has the right to say that...it shows he has some kind of sense of humour about his background and obviously feels comfortable enough to share his humour with you, perhaps to make you feel more at home with him. It's like when I share an Irish joke with my good friends - and I've told plenty of them on here. This kind of banter that goes on between friends is not black and white (oops, see what I did there?). Just because I tell an Irish joke to some of my good mates (and I include this forum as a place with which to share humour with "friends"), it doesn't suddenly give all and sundry a chance to lob up to me and make out I'm a thick eejit, running around drunk with a pig under my arms.
Context is very important in these matters and usually, we're all intelligent enough to judge each situation when they arise...obviously David Jason wasn't feeling too clever when he chose to tell his joke.
But JG was too stupid to know where Shilpa Shetty came from
Indeed.
This was a person who asked if "East Angular" was abroad when she was on BB originally.

Plenty of cracks about us Scots on here. I don't know anyone that's taken offense to that?
Its hard to define this as racist IMHO, given there are different views on what racism is. The joke doesn't imply that David Jason feels he is superior to a ****stani cloakroom attendant. Clearly there is a scale of racism, where this starts is debatable, and weather the joke is on the scale at all or low on it, is again debatable.
get back to your own country
The implication is racist I think even if literally not a problem in this case.
As for DJ - it's a stereotype sort of a joke which isn't helpful in a society that tries to be inclusive. If I was in India and people refered to be as John Smith, or whatever, I think I might find it a bit off. I do find it funny when Brits are portrayed as tea drinking toffs or cockney barrow boys though...maybe I wouldn't if in India though.
