Rejected petition Take down BBC three’s RACIST and DISCRIMINATING new series ‘Chinese Burn’

The new series called ‘Chinese Burn’, which BBC Three is currently showing, is an extremely racist and sexist take on the topic of Chinese stereotypes. The plot is filled up with insulting stereotypes and it is not an inspiring series in anyway.

More details

It creates a negative impression of Chinese people for British viewers and teaches them that racism is acceptable. Therefore I strongly suggest the government to take down this series, as it is truely dehumanising.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The BBC is an independent body governed by a Royal Charter. Under the terms of that Charter, the BBC is operationally and editorially independent of government and there is no provision for the government to intervene in the BBC’s day-to-day operations.
