Apology or not: Paul Henry types must not be given heed

The famous (or infamous) breakfast show TVNZ anchor, has lately made a habit of blurting out useless things in the name of humor. Apparently he made fun of Delhi CM's name and also had some jibes over a governor in NZ of Indian ethnicity. It's obvious that affected communities shall raise an eye over the remarks, but folks let's not get carried away. Media persons have been doing uncanny things to stackup TRPs for their channel and to keep their names buzzing in all the corners. So it would be better if we just move on and forget about it, Rather than taking the issue to new level i.e. racism. Tell me which country is devoid of some people making stupid remarks or gestures now and then? the answer is plain no. Then how does one another such incident make us lose our cool heads? The channel and authorities shall see into the matter and it shall be resolved.

But one thing is to be taken care of for sure, Humor if taken personally, is not a good indication, And of-course it's a known fact that we've not had the best records of tackling the humor. C'mon everyone, it's kids thing of wailing if the name's being made fun of! It's time we grow up, what say ? The only way we can avoid such people or remarks is by not paying much heed to such issues, playing it down And most important for the media would be to give it less air time or space. On that part, I think Delhi CM has done well so far. She's a graceful and respectful lady, And utterly unfazed by the incident.
