Radio Host Fired After Asking For Non Muslim Cabbie

[red states rule]

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.'

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.

Good Night! I wouldn't let my 14 YO daughter in a cab by herself anyway. Hypothetically if I did I would insist it not be a male driver. So what if the woman doesn't want an Asian or Muslim driver, its her daughter, her preference and her money. Its just more runaway political correctness.

I don't think the arguement can be used 'it's her money ergo it's her choice', as then one could apply that to business and who to hire.

The bit that still muses me is that so someone would be fearful of someone just because of their race.

I see it as freedom on both sides. If the cab company doesn't like her request just tell her to find another cab company or use the driver provided and if she doesn't want a specific group of people driving her daughter as far as I am concerned that should be her right to determine that, she is the parent.

I also think that if the business only wants to hire little old ladies with pink ribbons in their hair it should be their right to do so and no one should be able to tell them different. If they want to hire only smokers, cool. Businesses should have the freedom to hire who they want when they want and equally be able to not hire someone they don't want for whatever reason they want even if its bigotry.

[Trigg]

From the comments section of the article. Apparently England catagorizes people as Asian that we in the US do not, most in the US wouldn't consider someone from Pakistan Asian.

Therefore RSR was correct to leave the title as it was and MFM was wrong to ask him to change it. MFM other than throwing racist around do you have anything constructive to add to the convo?????





According to the 2001 UK Census there are 2.33 million British Asians, making up 4% of the population of the United Kingdom. This further subdivides to 1.05 million of Indian origin (1.8% of the population), 747,000 of Pakistani origin (1.3%), 283,000 of Bangladeshi origin (0.5%), and 247,000 from other Asian origins (0.4%) (largely of Sri Lankan origin). British Asians make up 50.2% of the UK's non-European population. British Indians tend to be religiously diverse, with 45% Hindu, 29% Sikh, and 13% per cent Muslim, while their counterparts of Pakistani and Bangladeshi origin are much more religiously homogeneous, with Muslims accounting for 92% of each group.

She was actually referring to a Muslim cab driver, the reason for this being that there have been quite a few rapes in taxi's by Muslim drivers, and it is obvious no one wants to have their daughter raped. I would not allow my daughter in a taxi with a turban driver, asian men in the area i live in are Muslims, and go to the Mosque.
The Muslim Danish cartoons that there was so much silly fuss about had Mohammed so called prophet with a Bomb attached to his turban, that brings back amusing memories.
Another reason for not letting your daughter in a taxi with a Muslim turbanned driver is suicide bombs.

If you have a group of people who commit most of the crimes in that area, than it makes sense to be watchfull of those people.

Even though it might be politically incorrect to do so it only makes sense to be carefull.

Well it just seems like blatent racism to me 'I don't want a paki driving my daughter, he'll prob rape her'

And it's pretty obvious that nothing is going to happen, any taxi driver will be logged in and out of fares, and the company will know all of thier details, so it would take a real idiot to think they could do anything and get away with it.

But the fact remains that the ex-dj made judgements of someone purly based on race.

Also if you are referng to the comment that has been quoted in an earlyer post then one of the reasons that you should not get a cab from an asain is not only the risk of rape, but the risk that they arc a sucide bomber. Is that guy for real?

I've been trying to figure out how I felt about this issue for a day or two now and I really can't lay my fingers on it.

For one thing, I would never ask a cab company to send a "white" driver. I would never even think to do such a thing. For one thing, I would assume that if the driver is working for the company then he or she has a track record and is not a threat to me or my child. Second, I would never put my 14 year old daughter in a cab alone for any reason. Third, if I did HAVE to put my 14 year old daughter into a cab, I might inform the dispatcher of my plans and request a driver that the dispatcher knew was responsible enough to take her exactly where I requested and make sure she gets there rather than drop her off at the corner and say see ya later, alligator.

The lady's request was racist. But, was it grounds for firing? I don't think so.

Personally I don't care what her reasons were, she is the parent and it should be her decision, whether or not I agree with her reasoning. If she doesn't want her child exposed to something or someone she shouldn't lose her job over it, nor should she be forced into accepting something she was obviously opposed to. If the cab company wants her money they will comply with her demands, if they don't or wont let her find a cab company that wants her money.

Or maybe she was carrying pork home for dinner? We all know that Muslim cabbies are threatening not to transport people that are carrying liquor. I mean maybe, just maybe there was a reason.

Oh wait, wouldn't you consider it bigotry for a Muslim cabbie to refuse to transport a person because they were carrying liquor? Some of you would not. This is perfectly acceptable to some of you. Would I be considered racist if I were in New York and knew of this issue when I called the cab company and requested a non-muslim because I was taking a bottle of wine as a present to my hosts? Of course, I would. I would have to leave the bottle at home or be branded a racist.

How do we know that her daughter didn't have a bad or even terrifying experience with someone in a turban?

I would assume if there were any reasons beonfld racism then they would have been made in the artical, aLas they are not, we can't defend this women based on what may has possibly happened in the past when there is no evidence of it.

how odd, considering I live in the UK and yet it seems to be everyone else tellin me how bad it is over here, maybe if some of y'all lived here you would have some understanding of what ya's are talking about, rather than just making comments about how bad it is in ignorence.

Tell those on the buses and at the airports who were bombed that all is fine with the radical muslims

Or the people who would have been on the jest that were to blown up over the ocean on their way to the US

A liberals view of terror attacks in the UK

SUV-Driving Doctors Attack Great Britain
We've all witnessed the havoc wrought on our health care system by doctors who turn a profit at the expense of those they are sworn to "serve and protect". Millions of Americans die every year, and Bush's Big Pharmaceutical Buddies are laughing all the way to the bank. Now, it appears as if our national cult of greed has spread across the pond. Two British physicians were arrested last weekend for what appears to be either a scheme to drum up business by maiming & mutilating innocent people, or an elaborate publicity stunt for Chrysler.

On Friday, London police discovered a Mercedes - exactly what you'd expect a doctor to drive - packed with explosives and parked in front of a West End nightclub. Another wired Mercedes was found later in the morning. The following day, two doctors rammed a Jeep Cherokee into the Glasgow airport terminal. Both men were uninjured by the initial crash, which once again raises serious questions about why these rolling death machines are even allowed on the road. However, one of them suffered severe burns when he covered himself with petrol and struck a match. Lucky for them they staged their attacks in a nation revered for it's progressive health care system. They'll both be receiving their free hysterectomies in five to six months.

As usual, the Freepers wasted no time blaming the attacks on "Islamofascists", yet only far-right media whores like Faux News have even mentioned the nationality or religious beliefs of those involved. That's because the whole argument is irrelevent and designed purely to cast aspersions on the peaceloving Muslim peoples - the vast majority of whom don't even drive SUVs.

I'm not defending radical Muslims, I am saying that it is wrong to assume that we are in a crises over here, I'm telling ya's now, say whatever you Wana say and live in ignorence, but it is nothing like you guys are describing it as. And to be honest it makes you guys that are saying it a bit daft

Yea, just like the Germans never saw a crisis with the rise of Hitler and Nazi party

Much like the left here in the US, appeasing them will not help

Damn you and your wit immie :p

In all seriousness I'm sure to some my post my seem hypocrital, but I would not refer to America the way some folks have described my country. And if I ever did I would certainly expect to get a good telling off.

[retiredman]

I agree with you. However, those one the left are constanly looking for thigs to whine about

I wonder how tolerant these same libs would be if a cabble showed up with a McCain/Palin bumber sticker on the cab, and was listening to either Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity on the radio?

Would they be as tolerant? Somehow I do not think they would

If I were looking for a cab, I would not care what political affiliation the driver was, and I wouldn't care all that much what radio station the driver was listening to. If it was offensive, I'd just listen to my iPod. If it was Rush or Sean, I'd listen along for the humor value

I suspect you would launch into one of your "sermons" and show your warm, fuzzy, and tolerant side :lol:

Then call the cab company to express how offended you were by the hate radio you were forced to listen to

I don't respect you one iota. That is for sure. You have done nothing to earn my respect. That does not mean, however, that I cannot ride in a taxicab and listen to conservative talk radio. I can and I have. You have nothing but bitterness for me and it clouds every post you make towards me. It gets tedious and boring after a while.

I have not lied. I ride in cabs fairly often when I am in Boston... I listen to whatever the cabbie has on the radio... from rap to middle eastern music to talk radio... I have never called any cab company EVER and complained about what was on the radio in one of their cabs that I rode in. You just make shit up all the time and claim it is fact. you are a lying sack of shit. that IS a fact.
