    Default Radio Host Fired After Asking For Non Muslim Cabbie

    So much for tolerance and understanding


    I thought that the liberals over at the BBC were supposed to be the tolerant ones. Personally with Muslims creating fear in the UK with no go zones for non-Muslims and with the rapes of non-Muslims by Muslims on the rise in Europe who can blame her?



    BBC Radio host sacked after call to taxi firm requesting 'non-Asian' driver
    By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
    11th November 2008

    A BBC Radio presenter has been sacked following a 'racist' call to a taxi firm, in which she requested a 'non-Asian' driver.

    Sam Mason told the operator that 'a guy with a turban would freak her daughter out' insisting they send an English driver instead.

    The ex-glamour girl, 40, called the firm to order a taxi for her 14-year-old daughter off-air, while presenting her BBC Bristol radio show.

    After the operator branded her request 'racist', Mason insisted, claiming it wasn't the first time she had made the request.

    She said: 'A guy with a turban is going to freak her out. She's not used to Asians.'
    When the operator said it would not be possible to carry out her wishes, she said: 'You've managed it before.'

    Mason, who has previously battled alcohol addiction, claimed she wasn't racist but insisted she was looking out for her daughter's interest.

    Mason said: 'If it were me I wouldn't care if it had two heads, but it's my little girl we are talking about.'

    After the operator refused to book a car, Mason complained before hanging up.

    The operator said: 'We would class that as being racist. We can't just penalise the Asian drivers and just send an English one.'

    The BBC were alerted to the conversation after it was recorded and sent to the Sun newspaper.
    The mother-of-one was subsequently suspended and fired 24 hours later.

    A BBC spokesman said: 'Although Sam Mason's remarks were not made on-air, her comments were completely unacceptable and, for that reason, she has been informed that she will no longer be working for the BBC with immediate effect.'

    How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

    I am not changing the title of the story. Perhaps over there that is how they refer to muslims

    Are you done trying to derail another thread, or do you want to talk about the topic

    Don't know why muslim comes into it at all.

    The story is rather odd but I think she left her bosses with little choice.
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    If she would have said somehting about Christains, or attacked Pres Bush she would have been given a raise and promotion

    Looks like it was not racist, but she was worried about the reaction of her kid

    Well I guess it's all a matter of opinion if you think it is racist or not. I think that it is, and that the daughter being scared thing is a cover

    ...I mean, why would a 14 year old be fearful of a man because he is (a) Asain or (b) wearing a turbin. Doesn't sound right to me.

    Virgil either is drunk and can't read, or is trying to get another thread locked sincehe does not like the topic

    Even though his boy won the election, Virgil is getting more and more unhinged with each passing day

    did YOU read the article, or were you mesmerized by the headline and posted the whole thing as a result?

    The text of the ARTICLE does not mention muslims.

    you disgusting racist pig.
