BBC Asian network sacks a Sikh for racism against Pakistanis

. . . .
There is no such thing as an "Asian" community in the UK. BBC "Asian" network should be split to form an "BBC indian network" and another one called "BBC Pakistani/Muslim network".

I don't think we need that kind of sectarianism within immigrants in the UK, I've got no problem at all with the vast majority of Indians here, plenty of them are perfectly good people, I've seen my fair share of those like these presenters too.

How can there be a racist remark against a nationality?

Try not to get caught up in the irrelevant technicalities of it, point is they made some sort of bigoted remarks and that too for one of the demographics for which the radio station is for, they've been named and suspended for a reason.

"BBC Pakistani/Muslim network".
Nope. Just "Pakistani Network". It's only Muslim if it covers all this -

Sectarianism suggests a religiois sect. We are talking here about nationality which is entirely differant issue. At one level if your purist and want to stress the unitary concept of UK then we are all "British" period. Nothing else should be given any importantance or label. If you however do want to take a more nuanced reflection of the multi-ethnic groups in UK as tagged in National Census category then it should be "Indian" or "Pakistani". This defence site is neither titled "Muslim Def" nor "Asian Def" but "Pak def" and that is the exact clear category we should be pushing for.

LOL why P aki is an abuse? Indian, American, Chinese is not, but why P aki? LOL...some introspect is needed when just mere reference to the population is an abuse...:lol: no wonder many Pakistani pose as Indians in US/UK

The term P aki is invention of Brits but it's taken offense if said by Indians even though we don't consider it racist or bigotry remark. Just a shortened version to say or to type as compared to full Pakistani.
