Well, not exactly irrelevent. It is something that I too, along with a few others, have noticed, so it's a little bit pompous of yourself to dismiss these thoughts..


It is irrelevant, because it doesn't matter what race someone is.... not that the original statement is true in the first place.

It's the sort of thing I'd expect to hear from someone of my grandparents generation.

Don't take me the wrong way here, but why is BBC LDN news largely dominated by Asian presenters?


Is it? I don't tend to notice such things, but I don't think it is

Anyway, Mike Ramsden (not asian) is popping up over at Radio 1 and presumabley Gillian (not asian) and Nina (asian, I think) are on holiday, leaving Emily (not asian) and Asad (asian) doing the main bits with others such as Jules (not asian) filling in.

But as I say, your point is irrelevant


Ooh, touched a nerve have I? Just because I express an opinion that disagrees with yours? I'm a fan of TV reflecting multi-cultural Britain - just not a fan of positive discrimination, and BBC LDN do have more Asian presenters than non-Asian, something that you literally refered to in your strange post.
