And so you have!
I stand by my opinion that those using the 'I'm overweight and I don't mind,' argument are using their own reactions to justify his rudeness, as if those who who do object are being oversensitive. Some with weight issues (many medical/clinical) have very low self esteem. The last thing they need is Anton's flippant references to their size and I'm surprised at your lack of understanding. Furthermore I really cannot believe that not one single Asian of your acquaintance objected to his use of the word p*ki! The word is both racist and derogatory and no Asian of my acquaintance would find it acceptable. no any of my asian aquaintances either

So you would agree that when you insult a whole race with a racist insult you would owe that whole race an apology then ?

Whatever happened to sticks and stones........... Everybody is just tooooo sensitive, and the people who profess to be the most tolerant are usually the least ie BBC and the left wing in general. Dumping Anton fron his show is most intolerant.

It seems you are assuming this is because of his foot in mouth tendency - have you any evidence to back up your theory. |

Dumping Anton from his show suggests he has been replaced. This is not the case, the BBC have chosen not to commission the show.

If this was true then you would have to ask why the hell is Du Beke dancing with someone that has set him up for what could be a massive fall on his career ? Even a real racist like Jim Davidson would not stand for that let alone a simple institutionalized one like Du Beke.

Perhaps he doesn't want to lose his job ? The assumption might be that he immediately "took the blame" and then it snowballed from there via the press and "sources". It is claimed that he initially made the "terrorist" remark - which is a bit rude and crass, IMO.

There is no way that Anton would fall on his sword, and watch his career go down the swanee, to protect Laila.

Why not? The public seem to like his antics and think putting down his partner and blaming any mistakes on her makes him a fun personality. Just cos he also can't dance half the dances and is unprofessional does'n't mean that people wouldn't line up to be paired with him - obviously just not Asians of course.
![]() ![]() ![]() ....he should be able to got to professional academy before they let him on tv and sorry hole in the wall I just dont get the show and why he is even on it ![]() ![]()

He was the silly prof who played it for laughs and entertained the older ladies. But since he has taken to racially abusing his partner he has a whole new and energised fan base.
