I disagree Willow, I think it's right that it's been discussed a lot. On the one hand it is a TV programme and purely entertainment but on the other it has over recent years opened up a lot of debates.

There are a lot of issues surrounding racism and its definition - yes, there clearly is still a lot of racism in the uk (I would not deny that at all, I work with it on a regular basis) but also there are a lot of over zealous do-gooders shouting racism in all manner of situations when it possibly isn't there i.e. it's a good excuse in other words - we don't get on so let's call it racism. So we do need to define what real racism is and then address it!

It doesn't matter what prompts the discussion as long as we have it.
