Rastamouse

[GTIR]

Get this racist tosh off the TV.

It's disgraceful that this is allowed to take the mickey out of the traditional proud Rasta's. I'm going to go on Mumsnet to bring my people together.

I hope everyone feels the same disgust as me. An' ting.

Yours enraged, White middle class.

I found it strangely funny reading the thread on here about what is wrong with these white british yoofs who like to talk like a Jamaican then reading a story about RoustaMouse being the BBC children's channels hottest program.

In a world of over the top political correctness and anti racism who at the BEEB thought this program would be a good idea?

Obviously I'm joking, why would I go to mumsnet!

I think it's quite a funny series and judging by the reaction the viewers had on The Wright Stuff they agree, and they were mostly of Caribbean stock , not white middle class mums from a certain website frequented by uptight bints.

I got high and watched it on iPlayer. Absolutely hilarious.
I seriously can't tell if it's racist or not.

All I know is that I approve and I can't wait to hear a 5 year old to ask me what's 'gwanin'.

First I heard about it was when people starting moaning about it. I'll fire up the iPlayer this afternoon and see if my Son (aged 5) likes it.

I'm going to make a bunch of mumsnet accounts so I can troll the Daily Mail into believing there's outrage where there is none.

Why bother to go to that length, just mention to one of thier inhouse fiction writers (aka 'reporters') that you don't like how 'ethnic' Spring Watch has become and they'll hold the front page for it.

Can someone explain to me how this could possibly be considered racist?

BTW, wha gwan is becoming a common phrase in my office..

Reading that at lunch was the first I have heard of it too. Perhaps that's not such a bad thing for someone without kids though!
