Well 'blacking Up' And Giving Her A Big Nose, Got Channel 4 The Result It Wanted To Get, So Why Are Some Complaining?

/// As she walked past her local pub, one person shouted 'f****** Muslims, in this town?', while another ranted about 'them [Muslims] round here'. ///

/// The abuse was so great that Ms Freeman even considered pulling out of the show at one
stage. ///

what did the show hope to achieve, it would seem fairly obvious that she might suffer abuse, in the same way that many young white girls were targeted by asian men, grooming them for sexual reasons.

so she dressed up as a muslim and walked around a week after a muslim bombed the manchester arena! Right oh! anyone surprised at the outcome? Remind me to walk through the lions enclosure with sirloin on my back on a starve day! F\F\S!

I think we're supposed to be impressed by the Brown and White Minstrel Show masquerading as news and finding out that it's true what bears do when in the trees.

Next week Jon Snow goes Orthdox.

Usual suspects seem to be missing from this debate!

Not a format I'm fond of, at the very least Katie Freeman will now sit easier on a bus.

Agree with the first two comments ...

AOG

I think we need to join together to get this discussion moving on,]

youngmafbog - perhaps you could help.

I will start with...I dunno...err - look at those racists.

AOG, can you come back with, "Everyone just shouts the word 'racist' nowadays - these are just fine English patriots".

After that youngmafbog could chip in with, "This is PC gone mad".

After that, I could defend Muslims and make this about gay stuff.

Okay...are we ready?

GO!

Someone needs to be the first to use "apologist". Any offers?

If they are going to do this they should also film a white woman in a miniskirt and boobtube walking round a Muslim area.

Look what happened when they dressed a German up as a Muslim in Munich.




Double denim man reminds me of an old leader of Germany.

Not sure the claim of 'Blacking up' is valid.
I have watched the clip on YouTube and she looks like she has been picalili-ed up. From the all the furore I was expecting at least an HP sauce complexion. :-(
