Stevo985 Posted February 14, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted February 14, 2011 If I impersonated an Irish person, or a french person, no-one would say anything. Why is impersonating chinese people taboo for some reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is impersonating chinese people taboo for some reason? I agree with the general point you make. But this is the new leader of the party that was previously in government (up to a few weeks ago). Almost, but not quite, our prime minister. It's really not the done thing for someone of that status. Though I appreciate you've maybe been de-sensitised by the master, Prince Phillip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true though, you can't do a Chinese accent, it's not the done thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 It's the like the whole Shilpa Shetty row, when she was called Poppadom. Would you bat an eyelid if you went abroad and somebody called you a Yorkshire Pudding? Poppadoms are bloody nice for god sake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 15, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted February 15, 2011 What was more funny about that (sticking to the Chinese theme) was that on the same day the Sun had a picture of Jade Goody on the front page with the headline "Racist pig", they also had a picture on the back page of one of the chinese snooker players (I think it was Marco Fu) with the headline "Pot Noodle".
