BBC Radio Host Sacked After Call to Taxi Firm Requesting ‘Non-Asian’ Driver

More news stories on Britain

Daily Mail (London), November 11, 2008

A BBC Radio presenter has been sacked following a ‘racist’ call to a taxi firm, in which she requested a ‘non-Asian’ driver.

Sam Mason told the operator that ‘a guy with a turban would freak her daughter out’ insisting they send an English driver instead.

The ex-glamour girl, 40, called the firm to order a taxi for her 14-year-old daughter off-air, while presenting her BBC Bristol radio show.

After the operator branded her request ‘racist’, Mason insisted, claiming it wasn’t the first time she had made the request.

She said: ‘A guy with a turban is going to freak her out. She’s not used to Asians.’

When the operator said it would not be possible to carry out her wishes, she said: ‘You’ve managed it before.’

Mason, who has previously battled alcohol addiction, claimed she wasn’t racist but insisted she was looking out for her daughter’s interest.

Mason said: ‘If it were me I wouldn’t care if it had two heads, but it’s my little girl we are talking about.’

After the operator refused to book a car, Mason complained before hanging up.

The operator said: ‘We would class that as being racist. We can’t just penalise the Asian drivers and just send an English one.’

I used to be a taxi driver. Let me tell you how to get a driver of your choosing.

All drivers have cell phones. Go down to a line of taxis and find the driver you want. Ask him for his cell phone number. Most drivers have cards with them on it. Then find other drivers you want and get their numbers too. Now you will have a list of a whole set of drivers you would be willing to have carry your daughter.

Then when you need a cab, just call from your list and see who is available and nearby. No need for dispatchers.

The American Revolution was fought over FAR LESS than we endure every day throughout the Anglosphere. Think not? Look into it. The “tyrranies” of the Crown were nothing compared to the indignities heaped upon us by our overlords.

Maybe one day we’ll do something about it.

I’m sure it’s already occurred to other posters here that this may be one of those rare but gratifying instances of Justice with a capital J. The question I would have is what has her attitude been about, say, you or I doing the same thing, and has she ever expressed that attitude? What would she say, or perhaps what has she said, on learning that some white nobody expressed a racial preference about people who work unsupervised around his or her children? Everything depends on the answer to that question, hypothetical or not.

Being 1. a celebrity and 2. an employee of the ‘Beeb’, I think the odds are that she deserved what she got. It would be interesting to know.

By the way, I must say from her picture she certainly has a lot of, uh, personality!

Why stop here? I propose that if you choose to see one movie over another (which is preferred by the State) that you be fined. If you choose one restaurant over another (preferred by the State) you go to jail. If you wear one type of clothes over another (preferred by the state), your picture should be published on the Internet. Finally, if you prefer that your daughter date one person over another (who is of a group preferred by the Federal Government), that you be executed. The main purpose of all actions and thoughts, from dawn-to-dusk, every day, all year long for all citizens is to “Stop the Hate” (TM).

Sam Mason probably knows the stastics on young white girls being raped and/or killed by turban-wearing asians—usually muslems—in Britain. This is what happens when a formerly white country is overrun with the dregs of the third world. Decent people can’t ride public transportation in safety, and when they try to arrange safe transport for their children by private taxi, they are accused of racism and lose their jobs.

If you make notice of the disproportionate rape/murder/assault, then you are racist. Judge every book by its content-except when judging white people. If you sleep and or procreate with these people, then your heritage is ignored (regardless of who took care of you. Halle Berry, Obama, Alisha Keyes come to mind) Race-envy fills their dirty little hearts and yet I am remembered none of this would be possible were it not for the God D*mned White Liberals.

non-Asian, turban?

Having a preference or an opinion is not racist.

A person of his own country is punished for choosing not to assimilate with or associate with a foreigner, but not the other way around. This world is twisted beyond repair.

With the daily reports of Muslims kidnapping young White girls and bartering them off in the sex-slave trade, what rational parent whould not make this logical request to protect her daughter?

By all published accounts, Muslims are renowned for pedophilia, kidnapping, the sex-slave trade, female genital mutilation, and stoning women to death at the drop of a hat.

Mason took a sensible precaution. A better precaution would be to keep her daughter within her sight, rather than sending her off in a cab with strangers.

By his own mouth he stands accused! The “operator” who considers himself a judge as to who is “racist” has shown his own “racism” by suggesting that the Asian driver is not English.
Good for you Sue Mason.

Why one earth would someone be fired from their job because in their personal life, they specified a particular cab driver??? This is insane, it makes absolutely no sense.

I wonder about the ethnic breakdown of the communities where the taxpayer-funded BBC bosses live.

Are we to dismiss this woman as “another racist crackpot” or do we finally acknowledge that she is expressing a desire that is absolutely intrinsic to the survival of a nation?

I wonder what the taxpayer-funded BBC bosses would like us to do?

Throw away all your rock CDs, The Who,The Stones,Zeplin,the Clash. This nonsense is creation of the anti-family SEX,DRUGS AND ROCK AND ROLL culture of extreme hedonistic pleasure where a pedaphile such as Pete Townsend who bleongs in jail is allowed to tour and perpetuate the sick and diseased sex, drugs and rock and roll nostalgia trip.

Tolerance for other culures and races in England was the cover for a degenerate lifestyle. It was too much for Cat Stevens so he converted to the more muscular Islam. The chickens have certaintly come home to roost!!!!

Okay, what does her battling alcohol addiction have to do with this story. She was just trying to protect her daughter. I assume the reporter was trying to tie alcohol addiction with her “evilness”. There is no way any white person can protect themselves or their family without being deemed a racist. So be it! I will be a proud racist and protect myself and my family and the interests of my white race. Actually, why not protest the cab company and not use their services. Get the word around. No white drivers, no white customers. Use the tube or walk or carpool. Time to make a stand and take the European and all western nations back. Especially the U.K.

‘liberals’ never turn on their own. It’s like a little game they play - let’s see if we can get the white man nervous and how much we can get over on him.

As another poster hinted at, when it comes to people of color, when it comes to them associating with their own, ‘giving back’ or getting in touch with their roots, this is givin maximum encouragement and considered highest enlightenment - the white society they inhabit is just so evil of course.

And what of the Asian drivers who sensibly refuse to pick up blacks in (legitimate) fear of being robbed or attacked? Obviously these Asians in London are people who can dish out what they can’t take.

Hello,
you may laugh, but in the politically incorrect novel series “Stahlfront” aka Steelfront (till now available only in Germany) in the third installment this is described as the next step in affirmative action. You may only go to a white liquor shop / supermarket, if you can prove that you have spent the same amount of money in shops of the other groups, e.g. if you have spent USD 10 in a latino shop, and 10 in a black shop and so on, only then you are allowed to spend USD 10 or less in a white shop. Of course you have to visit the other stores first, because only the visitors of white stores are checked.

27 — Anonymous wrote at 4:24 PM on November 12:

In the western U.S most taxi companies have a “latino” service. A different number all mexican speaking. But if you call the regular number you will most likely end up with a somali or ethiopian driver.

If you were to dare call up and ask for a white English speaking driver you would likely get no service or possibly be arrested for a hate crime.

And yet it is perfectly okay for them to devote a whole service to a specific race so long as it’s not white

Frankly, this lady sounds like a bit of a dingbat. I assume that a hack license in the UK is a prized limited-access privilege, just as it is in most large US cities. I doubt that your typical cabby, be he cockney, West Indian, East or Central Asian, or Somalian is about to risk his job and license to go on a binge of rape, robbery, or assault.

I’ve never had the slightest apprehension riding in a cab in London, New York, or any other city, whatever the race or ethnicity of the driver. People who worry about things like this are really unbalanced neurotics.

On the other hand, being a certified neurotic shouldn’t get one fired.

Usually not, but I have heard of instances in the UK where female passengers have been assaulted. There are high rates of asian/muslim on white sexual assaults there so I can understand her concern.

john at 6:06 PM: As it was Bristol, she was probably phoning a ‘minicab’ service. Anyone with a car can become a minicab driver and their quality is extremely variable. Our local one in outer London is very good but there have been cases of rape and indecent assault.

Do not confuse these with London ‘black’ cabs. A ‘cabby’ must pass an exam (the ‘knowledge’) before he can work and the standard is very high. They are overwhelmingly white.

Jupiter, I think your’e right. As much as I used to think people who blamed rock n roll for the breakdown of society, were a few fries short of a happy meal, I’m starting to see their point. I’m not referring to the innocent rock of the 50’s nor the popular standard rock of the 60’s but the hard rock and all that accompanied it. I’m still not sure, but I can see truth to what your saying. I’ve read the average age of a lot of the hard rock stars who died from drugs was 27. In fact, 27 is in most cases the exact age they died at.

Having spoken to a white cab driver here who informed me that he was passed up for a supervisor position and was told that this was because ‘we can’t have a white be supervisor’.

When he suggested to them that this might be racist, he was told that it was in fact not racism, because… he’s white.
