BBC in racism row

November 13, 2008

As Guru was eating a lasagne served to by a non-Italian waiter, and reading news about Barack Obama's election in a newspaper article written by a white journalist, he heard that a BBC Radio presenter had been sacked after calling a taxi firm to requested a non-Asian driver.

Ex glamour girl Sam Mason, 40, reportedly told the operator that a guy with a turban would 'freak her daughter out'.

Well, if Guru had been on the other end of the phone, he would have known exactly what to say.

Yours Truly would have said the firm would send a non-Asian driver - when he could be presented with a non-ignorant glamour girl and a non-annoying local radio presenter.
