		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Iâ€™ve seen it before, itâ€™s from the â€œKill the Messengerâ€ gig Iâ€™ve mentioned a couple of tmes.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Very very very belated correction: it&#039;s from &quot;Bigger &amp; Blacker&quot;, not KTM. Thank you Youtube.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Have you been to East London at all? I hear real people talk like that. But you are all above that now, Iâ€™m sure.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I&#039;m not from East London, but in reality we Asians all talk like we&#039;ve just stepped out of a Jane Austen novel. We just pretend to talk like rudeboys in front of white people as a gigantic secret joke. I thought everyone knew that. Get with the programme, Marv mah man.

***************************

Sunny mundea,

&lt;blockquote&gt;here you go:
http://www.pickledpolitics.com/archives/2628&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Thanks for that, mate. Turns out the first bit is about Native Americans rather than what I&#039;d assumed it to be about, ie. no turbans involved, but it&#039;s still freakin&#039; brilliant. I&#039;ve seen it before, it&#039;s from the &quot;Kill the Messenger&quot; gig I&#039;ve mentioned a couple of tmes. Fantastic stuff.

People, if you&#039;re new to Chris Rock World or you just haven&#039;t seen this clip, check it out. For the newbies, it&#039;s a great introduction to the guy&#039;s genius and way of thinking, and for everyone else, the clip has some superb comments on race relations in the US (some of which apply to life here in Ol&#039; Blighty too). It&#039;s only about 6 minutes long but it packs in a lot of dead-on observations.

The clip has some links to a few more Youtube clips of Chris&#039;s gigs too.</description>

		<description>maybe it originates from an occasion where he got covered in soot?

i think the whole manouvre might have been our chuck trying to deflect righteous indignation away from his son.

tying to think what fanon would say, though he&#039;d probably be busy in palestine right now.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;also Chandigarh doesnt have a Maharajah&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well done, Einstein ;) It was deliberate.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Dont you think you are being unfair to the guy?

Vikrant has a point. Itâ€™s difficult to imagine Mr Dhillon suffering more abuse by whites in his polo club, than by what Asians have written about him in PP.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I agree that there should be a limit to the extent that the hapless Mr Dhillon is tarred &amp; feathered. Like I said before, my gripe isn&#039;t the fact that his royal buddy calls him by this name but the fact that a whole bunch of other white guys at the club do too and that (for some weird reason) Mr Dhillon has stated that he &quot;enjoys&quot; it. 

If he really regarded this as being &quot;nobody else&#039;s business&quot; then his response to the media&#039;s enquiries should have been a statement that he views this as a private matter, or at least &quot;no comment&quot;. Not &quot;a lot of other people in our gang call me that too and actually I enjoy it&quot;, for God&#039;s sake. To some extent he&#039;s bought this ridicule upon himself.

I doubt it&#039;s much fun for his family either, assuming that he&#039;s married and that his kids didn&#039;t already rejoice about their father being called &quot;Sooty&quot; by his white friends. Unless they&#039;re a couple of Mr and Ms Mini Coopers (hah, did ya see what I did there ?).

*shrug* Whatever.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Jai apparently was alive during the 70â€™s, heâ€™s far too old to be a rudeboy.....&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I was born in the 70s. Trust me, I was exactly the right age to be a rudeboy during the 90s.....

Oh, and Marvin:

&lt;blockquote&gt;You need self respecâ€™ bruv nah i mean. They is calling you sooty, what da fuck man. etc etc. You is letting milky bar honkeys mock you innit bruv. You is letting crack ass milky devils disrepecting your black ass.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Ali G impressions went out of style about a decade ago, pal. Since they&#039;ve just defrosted you, I&#039;d better let you know that the Millennium Bug turned out to be an anticlimax, kinda like Nick Griffin&#039;s wedding night.</description>

		<description>This reeks of typical rudeboy &#039;humour&#039;. Funny how Mr.Dhillon is being ridiculed as a sellout and an uncle Tom by the very people who are &#039;outraged&#039; over the treatment he gets! Dont you think you are being unfair to the guy? Growing up i would get called a coconut for my public school accent or lack of asian friends. Heck even here in America i get uncle Tom jibes from desis of all nationalities for speaking like India&#039;s colonial masters.</description>

By the way, do you still have the link for the &quot;Why it&#039;s hard being Indian&quot; skit by Chris Rock from Youtube which PP recently linked to ? I didn&#039;t get a chance to check it out at the time and I can&#039;t find it on PP anymore either (or on Youtube).

Cheers mate.</description>
