Popular British crime drama producer Brian True-May suspended for saying no place for non-whites in Midsomer Murders series and the show is the "last bastion of Englishness."
SHAME: Midsomer Murders producer Brian True-May was suspended after he made comments during an interview on a radio-show that there was no place in the program for non-whites and it was the "last bastion of Englishness." Wow, aren't there non-white Brits? I don't know why people just run their mouths only to come back and apologize later. My late maternal grandmother always said, "as a man thinketh, so is he."
Brian True-May, the co-creator of the show which began on ITV in 1997, said the series "wouldn't work" if there was any racial diversity portrayed in the sleepy village life of the fictional county of Midsomer.
Production company All3Media has suspended True-May while it conducts an inquiry and an ITV spokesman said the broadcaster was "shocked and appalled" by his comments.
"We just don't have ethnic minorities involved. Because it wouldn't be the English village with them," True-May said in an interview with the Radio Times. "It just wouldn't work. Suddenly we might be in Slough ... We're the last bastion of Englishness and I want to keep it that way." An ITV spokesman said: "We are shocked and appalled at these personal comments by Brian True-May which are absolutely not shared by anyone at ITV.
"We are in urgent discussions with All3Media, the producer of Midsomer Murders, who have informed us that they have launched an immediate investigation into the matter and have suspended Mr True-May pending the outcome." Source
The truth always comes to light, doesn't it. This is akin to the outrage coming from some whites about
Idris Elba playing a Norse god in Thor. Absolutely insulting and ridiculous.
