One wonders if WBC staff were so indoctrinated with Political Correctness training,
that they let this disgusting local taxi driver continue on for many years, putting passengers (+ others) at risk? http://www.newburytoday.co.uk/news/news/18...assengers-.html |

No, the answer is far more simple. 'Taking action' means work; something WBC aren't inclined to do, no matter who you are!

The complainants were probably dismissed as being racist.

Shame he's not Swiss Tony; we could do with something to laugh about round here!

If he was Egyptian or even wrongly called Asian, then hardly "black".

Nothing to do with metaphor or shade. If we are going to apply a label to anyone, "black" to me means African or Afro-Caribbean etc. But a point hardly worth debating.

The phrase is quite a common one to suggest someone is being racially prejudice. |
