I remember that. I saw it and agree that is blatant racism and is extremely offensive. But that isn't the same as asking for someone who can speak the same language as your customers. Yes the person probably did say they were expecting an Asian pupil and we have been so conditioned to look for racism in everything that we see a logical statement as racist. In order to be PC they should have said they would prefer a Punjabi speaking pupil and that way they should not have risked offending anyone.
