Is it offensive because the people were fat and hairy?

Umm,

Andy, your food is tasteless. it’s not like your own personal food being really tasteless, although it may be if you like it so.. this comment coming from a fair skinned Romanian who LOVED London and tremendously enjoyed its diverse, ethnic, low and super-high end restaurants many years be4 anyone ever thought of Romania in EU. As to “why those things were offensive” you’re just slow, aren’t you!

I’m not sure why this has caused such a furore. It just seems like a fairly crass but ultimately insignificant thing to have done. I bet nobody even watches these things (well they wouldn’t had it not been for the entirety of Romania getting up in arms about the clip, and giving Virgin Media loads of free publicity – I bet that bloke doesn’t get fired, I bet he gets promoted). But why is it offensive? Can you explain? Would you have preferred the tired old Dracula image?

(Mind you most of your points about the British – and I am one- at the bottom, are spot on. (Though coming from a Romanian “their food is tasteless” is a bit pot calling the kettle black )
