If you and me get called a "bloody paki" on the Tube in London, we go home, fret about it and that's that. Some of us might go lodge a complaint with the Cop at the station and the offender gets reprimanded.
But if you happen to be Shilpa Shetty on Big Brother its international news. Even the Ministry of External Affairs is now involved. Its grabbing news headlines. Ohhhh we Indians have been insulted and its racist.
Note to Press: YES, Racism is BAD. But bring on stories that really tackle the issue. Not some bollywood actress being abused on reality TV. And as for your headlines. There are people dying in Iraq, Africa & the Middle East. But then I guess that doesn't bring in the viewers does it ???
