Do you find the name of this cooking show offensive?

After slapping down Dr. Laura for not being breathlessly respectful of the homosexual agenda, that national arbiter of political correctitude - Canada's Broadcast Standards Council - has decided that racial slurs directed at white people are jolly good fun (particularly when they are in a foreign language)! A Toronto TV show won a battle to keep its Chinese title despite complaints that it is offensive. The Caucasian host of a Chinese cooking show whose program is billed GWAI LO cooking, the Cantonese equivalent of 'foreign devil' can keep the name according to the the Canadian Broadcasting Standards Council. The show was on CFMT-TV, Toronto's multicultural channel, where it received a complaint from a veiwer who felt the name discriminated against non-Asians because, 'in Chinese, this expression isn't too far removed from other racist English expressions.'
