That well known bastian of equality

A BBC presenter has been fired for telling a taxi firm not to send an Asian driver to pick up her daughter.

At least the BBC get one sacking right, not having to wait before they get tens of thousands of complaints from people who've never even heard of this nasty piece of work.

Reading the transcript, she comes out with two of the more common petty racist cards, the:

"I'm not a racist, I've got black friends" card (“She’s not racist – her godparents are black.”)

And the standard; "I'm not being racist, but ....." (“I know this sounds really racist, but I’m not being”) which is pretty much usually followed by the kind of bile that should get you fired from any job.

But the thing that gets me about this isn't that what has happened is obviously wrong, isn't that the BBC are completely right in sacking the stupid bitch, but that someone, ANYONE, when faced with this sort of behaviour makes a conscience decision to send the offending tape to, of all places, the f***ing Sun newspaper, well known for its equality, sense of fair play and righteous truth.

While it's good to know that the Sun is moving in the right direction, at least you know where their priorities lie. A click to their homepage reveals that, while this story is certainly a moral winner, people who read the Sun would be more interested in the following:
