Basil Brush in 'racist' gag row

Reported by: Anonymous

PIKEYS! since when was a pikey a race? I'd even question the validity of asigning the term race to gypsy. Vis wikipedia: The Roma (as a noun, singular Rom, plural Roma; sometimes Rrom, Rroma, Romany people, Romani people or Romanies) belong to many ethnic groups that appear in literature and folklore, and are often referred to as Gypsies or Gipsies. The Roma have their origins in India.[31][32] The Roma are still thought of as wandering nomads in the popular imagination, despite the fact that today the vast majority live in permanent housing.[33] This widely dispersed ethnic group lives across the world not only near Southern and Eastern Europe,[34] but also in the American continent and the Middle East. So acording to that Gypsy means nomad, traveller or PIKEY! No race inferred
