Is the term 'jungle bunnies' when referring to black people racist?
http://www.telegraph....s-jungle-bunnies.html
I'm surprised that Mr Frost had to look it up. I would've thought that most people know this phrase? The report doesn't state what term he used for the white rioters in Manchester.

No I just read more into it, rather than make the first 'hysterical follow the sheep calls of racialism', that came into my head.
My points were made with no thoughts of offending anyone, and I take exception to being called a racist.
I should be allowed to offer up for debate my own particular slant on things, without the need of offensive terms being used against me personally, just as every other ABers should be allowed to.
Disagree all you like, but offer up an argument against if you must, but without the insults.

/// so it is ok for me to call daily mail readers right wing fascist apologists then. ///
Only if it is disgustingly criminal to read the Daily Mail, otherwise It is being offensive to Daily Mail readers, just as it is offensive to use the 'jungle words' to innocent blacks.
One can call a right wing or even a left wing fascist apologists, by all means if that person is also a criminal, which then has nothing to do with the newspaper they care to read.
This is the last time I am going to bother trying to explain to you or anyone else, if you cannot see it then that is not my problem I'm afraid.

Leaving semantics aside...let's get real - Mr Frost's excuse for using that term is so brilliantly bad, I almost want to hug him and say "For God's sake - is that the best you could do?"
I mean - 'urban jungle' and 'bunnies' being 'nice animals'.
Outstanding.
For my mind - completely racist. Why? Because the rioters in a number of areas were overwhelmingly (but not exclusively) black. Therefore, you could use the term theiving scum, thugs, yoga etc...but using a racist epithet is just insane.
I would have had more respect for him, had he said - "In the heat of the moment, my anger got the better of me, and this is what I feel about these black people"
More respect, but not a LOT of respect.

His explanation reminds me of the Little Britain sketches where David Walliams would be a politician giving some ludicrous explanation about how he came to be found naked on Hampstead Heath ..
'I was taking an evening stroll when I noticed a young man having trouble with his trousers. Seeking to be of assistance I offered to pull the zip up with my teeth' etc etc.
What an idiot.
