Your attempt at humor could have been forgive if the comment had been made
in relation to CCTV-9, since wily oriental gentlemen do indeed present the

In the context of Al Jazeera English other stereotypical racist
terms, as used for example by the Daily Express, would have been in context.

And if you must do racist humor, it should be with a cockney accent a la
Alf Garnet, or Mancunian a la Eddie Booth, unless you really mean it,
again with a Mancunian accent, but in the style of Bernard Manning.
