Racism Disclaimer

If you've just got back from a very nice day out at 'The Big Day In' (a christian social event in Coventry) that was only ruined by a girl shouting what may have sounded like a massively racist comment in front of a lot of people, I am that girl, and it didn't come out how it was meant to come out. Allow me to explain.....

After preforming a bit of stand up comedy Adaire the compare told his favourite joke 'Why does the baker have brown hands? because he kneaded a poo' I've always though this joke was a tiny bit racist because lots of people do have brown hands and it's not because they kneaded a poo. We should assume that the baker's hands weren't brown to begin with. So when Adaire started saying why did the baker have brown hands I stood up waved my arms and shouted in front of a lot of people. 'BECAUSE HE WAS ASIAN!!' It was only later that it dawned on me Adaire hadn't said 'why did the baker have brown hands? he said 'why did the baker have DIRTY hands'

embarrassed doesn't really come close. Sorry guys.

  1. It's a shame u have to explain as we who know u already know ur not racist. All Comedy should be taken with a pitch of salt and accept mistakes can be made. But it's big of u to admit u did wrong so am proud of u.
