Re: Ms Dikshet
How can this be called racism? The name is so funny itself, even I could help but laugh when I read the title and I'm not a racist and I most probably belong to the same race as Dik****s.
Great logic this.. haha NOT.
Re: Ms Dikshet
I didn't find it funny at all. Not because the name is not funny or anything, but because he is supposed to be a professional and he is a newscaster going to be seen by lots of people. What he is doing is very unprofessional and disrespectful; to make fun of a politician's name like that on telly. What he does off screen is his business, but not when he is on screen being recorded.
Re: Ms Dikshet
Sanity has prevailed as I believe the douche has been "let go". Going through his wikipedia page.. he has a confirmed history of being a bigot.
Re: Ms Dikshet
Disgraceful.
And then then the Kiwis wonder why the rest of the world thinks NZ is full of racist bigots.

A NZ tv host, talking about the Delhi Chief Minister
The takeaway
Its funny. Its immature but funny. Not somthing the Indians should be overly concerned about. Although that bit about Indians in general, whatever that means, did sound a bit racist.
Re: Ms Dik****
New Zealand television host Paul Henry has resigned after provoking public outrage over his on-air comments about Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dik****.
He laughed a number of times as he mispronounced the surname, which sounds closer to “Dixit” in English.
Indian officials condemned the remarks as “racist and bigoted”.
He was already suspended for suggesting that Governor General Sir Anand Satyanand, who is of Fijian-Indian heritage, was not a real New Zealander.
As controversy mounted over those remarks, made last week, his earlier remarks about Ms Dik**** resurfaced.
Re: Ms Dikshet
thats insane i mean dyksht should also take responsibility for spreading stealthy profanity.Lets see how indians pronounce her name at the closing ceremony of Commonwealth Games.
Regarding henry he is already a youtube hit
Re: Ms Dikshet
Is his last name Lund?
Re: Ms Dikshet
This is racism, can you hear the cheers and laughs in the back ground when the nit wit is using abusive language.
Re: Ms Dikshet
yep nonwhites including pakistanis, indians, bangladeshis, etc are definitely majorly prejudiced with each other.rarely do white people show their ugly prejudiced side like this especially on the air with the cameras rolling. don't think anybody will hire him again after this.
all human beings have our own prejudices but just the way this man was talking, the hate was oozing out of him, plus the other anchors didn't say much against his stupid comments. i was expecting atleast the lady to be more mature than the little prejudiced man that was acting like a 5 yr old.
Re: Ms Dikshet
reminds me a little of this not as bad as this but still just as messed up: kramer from Seinfeld
the only difference is that this news anchor wasn’t provoked in any way, just his hate/bigotry was shinning through
Re: Ms Dikshet
he is really crazyyy… 
Re: Ms Dikshet
what’s this about? I can’t believe this is an american radio show!!!

Hindu names are funny as hell.. What he is doing is 100% within his limits. Why they never abuse/laugh at Muslims? Goras like Muslims more than they like Indians/Hindus. I have observed Pakistanis/Arabs get more respect in France/Holland/Germant/UK/USA because of belonging to Abrahamic religion and everyone wonders where Hindus come from :D
