yes he's annoying... except he's a kiwi. And this just surfaced because of an even more racist comment made last week!

@2 is correct. Not a Brit. He's a Kiwi, living and broadcasting in New Zealand, where in some respects it is still 1958.

The woman's name is pronounced "Dixit".

I worked in the admissions office of my university. The woman who handled international admissions and I would laugh over the names that didn't translate well. My favorite was pronounced "she ting."

That's Paul Henry of TVNZ One's Breakfast. I think he's been suspended from the show.

A minor posting bug (just installed Chrome), sorry about the double (now triple) post.

Is that guy fired, or what?

I think in Commonwealth parlance, Mr. Henry has won "Cunt Of The Day".

Henry was suspended - in the same week he made a comment that a "real Kiwi" should be made Governor General instead of the Indian-Kiwi who's currently in the post. It's actually created some really good dialogue about racism here in NZ... and meant that Henry finally got a long-deserved comeuppance. http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/tv/…

She is not a diplomat, she is the chief minister of Delhi (basically the mayor of Delhi). And it is pronounced Dickshit. Not an uncommon name in India.

The best Indian name however is Sodabottleopenerwala. (originally named after the people who made soda bottle openers).

almost as nearly as annoying as Asian1981 or perhaps less so tetchybrit, fwiw.

"And it's so appropriate because she's Indian." Uh... wut?

@17 exactly. Which makes him a racist idiot who behaves badly on TV. It almost looked like some kind of out of control Austin Powers parody. (Anyone remember Lotta Fagina, or whatever her name was)...
