No need to move, just keep your sense of humour and fight against those that have lost theirs!

So, it does sound like there was more to it than the mimicking because the other guy didn't get sacked and the guy who did get sacked had said he would refuse to speak to his Asian colleagues.

The whole carry on reeks of PC gone bad. If people dont want to speak to others then that shouldnt be held against them. As for the banter and ripping of collegues its normal and if they applied this where I work half the factory and most off the office based staff would have been dismissed over the years. We have multiple races and cultures and they all give as good as they get without any animosity or moaning. If it was as serious as they are trying to make out then why didnt they do something about it without all this palavour thats shown its face. If people want a job that has no humour or lght heartedness during the working day they had better apply for a job as a Whitehall civil servent.

So does this mean the kumars on the TV will be banned as they take the mick slightly out of their own culture?

There is a fine line between what some people might consider having a laugh, and bullying.

You'd have thought he'd have had more sense after the first warning.

Do you reckon I can sue Michael Jackson for imitating a white man - and his doctors for aiding and abetting by making his skin white?

Neal - yeah kumars shud b taken off and taken to the land of the free - wahay its in america!! *L*

i think its stupid but i dont think the underlyin cause was perhaps the mimicing. maybe there was more to it but in the end when push come to shove they felt they had to sack him rather than keepin him on and him becoming a liability to the place
