Carol Thatcher (the daughter of the former UK Prime Minister) during a private conversation in a Green Room at the BBC, referred to a French Black tennis player as looking like a Golliwog, The debate rages in the UK as to whether this was truly offensive or not? Black American Comedian, Reginald D Hunter, puts the whole thing into context and relays what most sane thinking Black people view of the whole affair. Ironically, Producer, Paul Atherton (Mixed Race) is currently in production of a short film entitled "Colour Blind" with Wil Johnson (the Black star of BBC's Waking the Dead) and Robert Cavanah (Tomb Riader / Sahara) about how Black and White people see each other. The surprise ending of the film clearly demonstrate where the makers believe the blame for the UK's over-reaction to Carol's comments lies.
