Wacky New Zealand Radio Personality causes uproar by calling UN Secretary General "cheeky darky"

from the BBC

All in good fun? or offensive and worthy of punishment?

I'm sure Kofi Annan sleeps better at night knowing he has a huge cohort of people to be outraged for him.

I somehow doubt that Mr. Annan would have been very offended at all at the jibe. It was in bad taste to be sure, but not as patently offensive and derogatory as some of the things someone in his position has probably been called over the years. Only those people are called "delegates" and have diplomatic immunity.

Freudian slips are great The right wing loves to mask themselves but enevitablity dictates the truth comes out from thier own mouths.

Mr de Bres admitted that some New Zealanders held racist views.

Someone's election is hosed.

Oh, I don't know - there's not a country in the world that doesn't have a few racists, and I don't see that saying that will kill anyones chances
