You're right in one respect; Political correctness is so out of control these day's, that some groups take offence at the slightest thing. And I doubt the BBC would have done an add like this to these groups
But it wasn't any of these other groups; it was Wales poking a bit of fun at the English. If some English people have lost the ability to laugh at themselves on occasions like this, then we are in a very sorry state indeed.

Re: BBC Forced to drop racist advert!!!!
I bet the rugby fans have all taken it as a giggle.... as they slowly turn to ice at the match today... it's perishing out there! 74,000-person group hug recommended!

I was pretty much Welsh when I lived there.

Those who know Rugby fans and especially Welsh and English fans are wetting their pants in laughter at this "supposedly" racist ad.
It's nothing of the sort, it represents the friendly banter between them that has existed for years.

Re: BBC Forced to drop racist advert!!!!
I get the humour and don't mind the type of humour I'm just not happy with the bbc doing this because they wouldn't do it to any other group it's not the humour i think people have a problem with it's the hypocrisy of the organisation that chose to use it.

It's not racist at all says this British mongrel with Scottish, Irish,English and Geordie blood married to someone whom is both Welsh and English.
Time for some to get off their high horses.

Totally agree. This wouldn't be an issue if it wasn't for other groups who don't want to get off theirs and the fact that the BBC wouldn't do this to pretty much any other group of people/country and would be at the forefront of denouncing anyone else who did.

Re: BBC Forced to drop racist advert!!!!
I can't, I need time to figure out why I'm offended so I can rant and complain about it
