Is this song "racist"?

[chanel]

A PUB singer is set to be quizzed by cops tonight after he was accused of "racism" for belting out the chart hit Kung Fu Fighting as two Chinese people walked past.

Simon Ledger was arrested in a Chinese restaurant after a complaint was made to police.

The singer is set to be interviewed by cops at 8pm tonight after his bail comes to an end.

Simon, 34, often performs the song in Sandown, Isle of Wight. He said: "I hadn't even seen these two."

"I thought it was a joke but they were serious. They seemed pretty amazed but said the law is the law and it was their duty. It's political correctness gone potty."

Aren't songs free speech but in musicial form? If this guy was arrested, then all rappers need to be as well.

This is the U.K. They don't have free speech anymore.

Oh. Well. You asked if we considered it racist. I don't. But I'm not in the UK.

I don't think its racist either and I imagine the guy will not be charged, but it's still scary to ponder that this could happen here. It seems there are a few who think that the right to "not be offended" trumps the first amendment. A lawyer's wet dream!

It must be tough being a comic in England.

Kung Fu Fighting That song sucked then, sucks now.

No, it's not racist. Those 'offended' need to grow some skin.

It's no more racist than when Trump advised that Obama "gets on the phone or gets off his basketball court or whatever he is doing at the time" and pressure OPEC to lower gas prices.

The guy needs to get a better act

Awfully damned silly.

I thought the movie V for Vendetta was escapist fantasy, not prophecy.
