who was offended by corrie? - Page 2

comments are all about why the comment was made, as neil pointed out two black guys can call each other nigger and nothings made of it, ozzys call us pomms and nothings made of it cos nothings meant by it. but when your called a dirty pomm, then it tends to have a racial intent. It's where how and to who it's said not just what is said. There's banter and there's racism.
I don't agree with all this pc rubbish, most of the so called victims of racism don't agree with the ludicrous rules anyway. In fact a lot of the are creating racism where there was non to start with by suggesting that there is racism there.
BUT by what's been said here. it sounds like corrie have gone to close to the edge.

I weren't offended at all, it went in one ear and out the other!

Im more offended by the fact that if it was a white person referring to someone as a nigger serious action would have been taken.and probably the number of complaints would have been in their thousands rather than the hundreds in this case.

I took exception to that comment by Sunita's brother plain and simply because if the boot had been on the other foot and the comment had been aimed at Asians, let alone to call them trash as well, then I'm sure the you must all realise that the s**t would have definately hit the fan big time.

I adore Corrie, as usually very funny and inoffensive, however, that remark did jolt me a little, but only because of reasons as above, and wondered how it got by the Producer's eye .. sure it didn't and was left in the script for some sort of reaction from the public. Did sorta' suggest that all white single mothers living in a flat over a corner shop were trash and of course, Asians don't do this do they ??
Sorry, Granny thought of Jack in his nuddy doesn't excite me at all, although funny storyline.

I'm actually glad corrie is getting a dose of reality. This is a soap supposedly a social commentary set in Manchester remember...the locals arent exactly all politically correct.
Finally it's highlighting some other issues apart from the 133rd love triangle...

Yes, that was a really wicked piece of script, wasn't it ?? Made 'my blood boil' .. all credit to the actors for doing that, however, as previously stated if Sally had told Rosie she was behaving like a piece of black trash, would have been some interesting reactions, don't you think ?

Madhatter · 22-01-2006, 17:30

She's got black hair!

shakermaker · 22-01-2006, 22:23

I wish they'd blow Sally up.

She does my nut in, how can anyone have such an annoying voice?
Rubbish character rubbish actress.
Blow her up!! kaboooooooooom

I wonder if Ken Barlow will highlight this issue in his local newspaper?
