I'm sure Venus and her sister would think so too. These papers should be ashamed for printing this story and pandering to the likes of closed minded people. It was the funniest part of the carnival anyway. There is enough trouble in this world (Malaysia springs to mind and the Gaza strip,) without comments from stupid people who know nothing except their own little petty worlds. There I've had my say now apologize!!!!!!!

In all the time i have known Kev I have never heard a racist slur or jibe from him.
The question is would it have been more offensive to have a float celebrating Wimbledon's greatest female players and leave two of the all time greats out of the line up because they are black.
there is a word for that and that is apartheid. Sometimes you have to look through the hype to see the obvious, in this case a load of guys dressed as women having fun in a local carnival

I feel this is no more insulting than the film 'White Chicks' in which two black men 'whited up' and they raised no money for charity...

Give the men the apology they deserve.

The MD of the West Briton is based in Plymouth, so it's a rudderless ship on a once great paper these days...
