Is it because it shows an Indian in a loincloth which (now) constitutes 'racism'?

There was a report recently stating that it will never be shown again because it is deemed far too offensive and racist.

I watched it as a kid and loved it but of course then I had no clue that it was offensive. Now I see it.

As was said on the program, it's only racist by today's PC standards. PC brigade = idiots

Nothing to do with being un-PC, it simply isn't funny and hasn't stood the test of time.

Very very racist, the Welsh must have been furious that the Sgt Major was portrayed as such a tool.

I remember it more for "lovely boy" rather than the racism, I'd have thought it was the constant piss take of homosexuality that got it banned.

I'm with you on this, poor Gloria!

The race card is played very poorly and let's face it in the program showed last night Sanjeev was quite happy and said it was family viewing for them. Then again he seems intelligent with no chip or axe to grind...

Love Thy Neighbour was actually ANTI racist - but that is often overlooked now.

And I bet the people crying racist are white...

I have lost patience with the PC frenzy that has engulfed us in just 10-20 years after thousands of years of civilisation, and see how it is affecting young minds...

The fault line is that (for example) Asian comedians can tell jokes about Asians/skin colour, but white people cannot. Witness Shappi Khorsandi last night - first joke was to look at the audience and say roughly 'It's like being at a wedding only you're a different colour!'. It got a good laugh from the audience (and is true). Now, who as a white person would like to try that with an audience of non-whites? And what would the response be? Headline news, public humiliation and redundancy. So let's have some racial equality please. That would be nice.

Smiler.

I am of Indian origin and we used to watch it without being offended .

Having said that teachers were openly racist at school and we just accepted it and got on with it
