I think a better question would be " how many contributors to this thread have actually read a book"

Fact of the matter, he purposely went out of his way to twist the name. Its not a race thing - its a personal thing.

How would you like it if someone on india TV mocked you name? Wrong place for these types of things. Keep in the school grounds with the other 7 year olds.

He was pronouncing it correctly, they showed an ozzy interview on the news where Sheila herself confirmed that it was pronounced the way it was spelled.
the last half of this clip shows many examples from the Indian media.

The first half is a bit of an embarrassment though.

An even better question would be "how many have actually contributed to this thread"?

I'm not racist, I can't be, racism is a crime and everyone knows crime is for maoris.

Sure, I read several books a year, in either English or German....... 1984 is one of my favorites.

The only parallel I can draw between this situation and the book is the concept of "Double truth" (Where by a group (or just an individual) is told something ( that most likely is true), then, in the next few moments told the complete opposite ( again in, something that is most likely true ), in so doing that the subject(s) are subconsciously confused, and there by, will continue to believe either of these "truths" as fact, depending on the situation, as required.

It is actually one of the most important steps in manipulating, and controlling either a group,By an individual or, an individual, by a group, and indeed very successful.

I think that is what Hans is referring to, and suggests that Paul Henry is indeed a racsist of the tallest order, as he, on one hand, makes many race based comments, then, shortly afterward makes impassioned pleas as to how he himself is a "Gypsy" (Roma), and the mere fact that he has this lineage would immediately discount him as Racist.......

Here by, completing the " double truth"....., because, a Gypsy ( a persecuted race) could never be racist...... Could they?

that's the only parallel in can draw... Hans? Am I right?
