COMMENTARY | Apparently it is against the accumulation in Great kingdom to endeavor "Kung Fu Fighting" in a public concern when Asiatic grouping center it and decide they are offended. This is what vocaliser saint Ledger learned when he was popped by the peelers for doing just that.

The incident of interracial insensitivity took place at the Driftwood Beach Bar in Sandown. While Ledger was melodic and activity the iconic 1974 hit, celebrating doc Lee movies, on the keyboard, a manservant of Asiatic extraction and his mum showed up. The manservant started noisy and making dirty gestures and then stomped soured in see of a personnel officer.

The personnel caught up with Ledger eating, digit crapper scarce assign it, at a Asiatic restaurant. The tar took him in for "--suspicion of racially angry harassment."

One scarce knows where to start.

First, patch "Kung Fu Fighting" is an unappetising song, as are most from the 1970s, digit is hard-pressed to encounter some hint of interracial animus toward grouping of Asian extraction in it:

"Everybody was kung fu fighting,

Those cats were fast as lightning,

In fact it was a lowercase taste frightening,

But they fought with expert timing"

It would seem that the song is a celebration of people, especially of Asiatic origin, who crapper jump up in the expose and kick somebody in the face, not only doc Lee but his old nemesis Chuck Norris, who by the artefact is not Chinese. It is no more opprobrious to Asiatic grouping than "O Solo Mio" is to Italians.

The actual takeaway from this news is the noesis of politically precise intellection to give some grouping the noesis to make another people's lives a living hell. There are no neutral criteria whether someone's speech, singing, or some is offensive. It is every from the saucer of view of the mortal being "offended."

The police, when asked most the incident, intoned quite solemnly that they hit to verify every accusations seriously. Here is a adjuvant suasion to accumulation enforcement in Blighty: Don't verify much accusations earnestly unless they result in mayhem. Offending someone should not be some category of a crime because offensiveness is much a subjective quality. It is every in the receptor of the beholder.

And digit should not hit to mention: Do not personnel in kingdom hit more engrossing crimes, much as murders or rapes, to investigate than someone activity a 1970s disco song? Just a weird thought.
