He's been busy being branded as a racist and getting himself banned from the BBC.

It was all over the media, so much so many Asians will have even been aware of it.

Re: British Asians' Knowledge of Our "Popular Culture".

I also watch quiz shows and some of the younger contestants know nothing more than Harry Potter and the Kardashians. Sometimes their lack of knowledge is shocking whether they are Asian or not has nothing to do with it.

Btw, it's 'weekend' not 'week-end'

So he was well spoken, still doesn't mean he was English, many Asians are not only well spoken, but also well educated.
