Discussion and debate on the big issues affecting British Asians, including the day's debate: is it racist for a non-Asian to mimic an Indian accent?

Listen back to today's debate - is it racist for a non-Asian to mimic the Indian accent? We were asking this after an Australian cricket announcer was allegedly sacked for pronouncing the name of England spinner Monty Panesar in an "exaggerated Indian accent". A lot of people on social media websites like Twitter, were shocked.

But would you be upset if you heard a white person doing an Indian accent?
