Right, seriously, have I missed something here,
what is the joke?

I liked the Alf Ghandi one, but mostly these are just beyond me.

Perhaps the interesting thing about this is that Trevor's real name is George
and he changed it to hide the fact that he had come from the West Indies, in a time when racism was rife in the UK and it would have seriously hindered his career to be seen to be part of a culture which was 'taking our jobs', much as it is not healthy to be a Muslim in some fields now.

He has gone on to be knighted, so it's a shame that we are reduced to an entire board full of casual racism today.

eeek
i was just swapping black for white, with out seriously thinking of any racial undertones.

i must admit, this compo is an excuse for a bit of blatent racism, and will be used by some (a minor few) for such things

I don't actually mind people who are racist on purpose, at least they are standing up for what they believe in
but I hate casual racism.

I don't think your post is racist btw.
