Most of the comments on the BBC site would seem to indicate that most British people think this is being blown out of proportion. Of course, we all know if an establishment figure in the US was filmed calling a black man by the ‘n’ word, your media would not be interested in that kind of thing at all....

Depends upon if it is Democrat Senator, of a Republican anything.

Also, this has been dredged up from three years ago, so is hardly "news"; more like "olds".

It's a soldier with his friends. The bit at the end had him as the butt of the jokes.

God save the UK, the PC police have taken over.
