On 26th november 2005, the bbc aired a programme called "American dad" on BBC2. Now what i am oblivious to is why was this show, aired on a public broadcasting service, that is meant to educate, inform and entertain, because this show did nothing but purely offend me. Numerous time in the programme comment were made about muslim people being terrorist, or wanting to blow up the neighbourhood and it continued to sterotype all muslim as fanatics. This is the first time i watched the programme, and watched all of it waiting for some sort of resolution at the end of the programme, that teaches the audience that these sterotypes are not true. Many of the comments were racist and to me very offensive, even though its obvious from the genre of the show this was meant to be comedy, there was nothing i find funny about it. I think the BBC should think about what it airs , and it should try keep the respected repuatation it holds, and not enflict racial sterotypes through its shows. thank you.
