I’ll leave the condescending and slightly racist sounding stuff to others but I also don’t think Rishi is anchor material for a big day’s racing but I dont think bringing his ethnicity into it is is anyway helpful or indeed acceptable.

Isn’t giving someone a job because of their ethnicity racist? Pointing out that that may be the case isn’t racist. It may be a misinformed and / or ignorant view, possibly, but it’s nothing more than that.
Personally I don’t mind Rishi Persad. There are better presenters out there but there are some that are a damn sight worse as well. Mick Fitzgerald for one is absolutely awful yet features constantly. Tom Lee has all the charisma of a table leg. Emma Spencer is eye candy nothing more. Tanya is totally unnatural in front of the camera.
Channel 4 has bigger problems than Rishi Persad.
As Gingertipster has said it is inherently racist to assume that Rishi Persad ( or anyone else) could only have got their job because of their ethnicity…….is that your assumption about anybody non white who appears on television???
As for juvenile references early in the thread about coffee creams etc etc……..utterly shameful and shaming…condescending and unquestionably racist.Grow up.
That was nothing to do with me. I didn’t suggest Rishi was given the job based on his ethnicity either I merely asked if someone questioning whether or not he had is racist.
I do need to grow up though I agree with you there
