It is offensive on nearly every level. Sadly it's become a sort of chic badge of honour. Btitney Spears even had it on her t-shirt.

Who was the first black character in Corrie?

I remember Ray Langton left Deidre for a black girl, who incidentally starred in BBC1's Angels a few years earlier. It was about 1976.

Good I must have been a sad ten year old.:)

I believe they have been reported to the broadcasting standards commitee for it.

Just think what the uproar would have been if it had been racist against blacks as opposed to being racist against whites.

I was watching a film the other night and 2 black blokes were calling each other nigger. I bet no-one complained about that. What is the problem?

Re: who was offended by corrie?
 

I didn't even notice it - and I was watching the programme. Reading about it next day in the papers I just thought, "Well he would say that, wouldn't he?" For God's sake, what a fuss about nothing at all.

It's just another way for the PC brigade to stir up trouble. I like people of all creeds and colours, there are also people of the same & or different creeds and colours I don't like.... because you can't like everybody all of the time.
