Vladd’s view of the World

Now this joke, not that funny, is just a play on words it probably dates back to the days of Ghandi. Is it racist? Was the reaction of A Mr Mohammed Shafiq, of the Ramadhan Foundation – an organisation which exists to enhance a better understanding between Muslims and non-Muslims in the West -over the top? He even managed to puff himself into such a rage that he accused Sir David of being out of touch with reality in portraying Pakistanis as cloakroom attendants.
‘He should have known better,’ he said. ‘Many top jobs in this country are held by British Muslims. He needs to be careful about what he says. He need to learn about the wealth of jobs held by Muslims.’
Now did anyone mention muslims? did anyone complain to the radio station? No. Was this an example of people trying to make news out of a regretable lack of judgement? More than likely.
