Of course it is very easy to like him if you are a white, male, straight and able bodied individual. What it would be like to be non of that list and watching him would be different I imagine.
So what you're saying is that you're only offended by racism if you're of a different race, or homophobia if you're gay.
No, I'm saying I would not know how I would feel about it if I was the only white, straight, ablebodied male in a room and someone was doing Bernard style jokes towards me. I've never been in that position to think 'hey it's all a laugh this' or weather to be offended by it.

two lesbians walking down the road (cut)
two Jews in a restaurant (cut)
two white men on a train
That sounds incredible. Bolt yourself down , I'll make you laugh some more - Two women in a car,
three Asians on a skateboard,
five blind men in a lift.
Bolt yourself down, I wasn't laughing at the kind of jokes, it was how they put them all together one after the other, it's something that you didn't see, I did and it was funny.
All Asians are Muslim?
When I was writing that, I thought someone would pick me up on that (well done, you win the prize) but I was quoting the bloke on the radio not using my own words.
If you are a racist then that's fine, you're entitled to your opinion, however at least have the courage of your convictions and come out and say it rather than hiding behind a man using jokes out of Christmas crackers with the word "c***" on the end of them.
Next time I am involved with the 'Lets kick racism out of football' campaign, I'll send you a private message, you can come along and help me hand out the leaflets to fans who then tell me to f*** off and throw it back in my face which makes me more determined that the campaign is very much needed.
The next time the 'Love Music, Hate Racism' festival is on in Manchester, I'll PM you again, and you can help me hand out flyers along Oxford Road and then we can go along afterwards and listen to the music. But only if you're interested.

The humour I`ve never got is Friends and Will and Grace and all that awful drivel.Oh endless hours of Friends repeats is enough to send me insane.Ok Bernard wasn`t always funny,but I strongly object to anyone who gets offended by "Paki" jokes etc.It seems nowadays everyone is offended by everything.When my last child was in nursery they were not allowed to sing Baa Baa black sheep incase it offended the only coloured child.What utter and dire garbage!!Freedom of speach should exist even for fat bigotted English comediens.He wasn`t a genius just someone who delivered the jokes the people in working mens clubs etc wanted.
