Pity you are unfamiliar with Warren Mitchell who played the TV role of Alf Garnett on "Till death us do part". He played the role of a far right-wing "bigot" who waxed eloquently against non-West Ham football clubs, his Scouser son-in-law from Liverpool, suntans, Asians, communists, trade-unionists, Harold Wilson's UK labour party etc. To know him is to know me (except I don't smoke). There are reams of articulated considered logic in his views. You Tube probably has "The thoughts of Chairman Alf" wherein he expresses himself perfectly. His views resonated and struck a chord with millions including the UK Conservative Party which offered him a candidacy. He declined. They did not realize in real life, he was a socialist Labour Party supporter.
His non-PC views would not be allowed on TV today.
Suffice to say, you do not know what you've been missing.

He was a fraud but found an important (and profitable!) niche expounding unpleasant nonsense.
I'd not expected you to admit to being a fraud from the same box.

That's nonsense as well - "Citizen Khan" is not as directly offensive but might be even worse from some cultural viewpoints.

Alas, not even I can keep everybody happy. Heaven knows how hard I have tried.

You've not tried.
You've targeted "Suntans" and others to very offensive result.

Pray tell, which PC word would you suggest knowing not even they know what they want to be described. They cannot agree among themselves.
Indeed, among themselves they use the reserved "N" word but moan if others copy their example. Same story with a reserved "K" word.
Even neutral terms will be offensive to "offendo-freaks" chomping at the bit to take offence, even if most of their own life-form has no issue.
We've tried everything to keep them happy including "natives", "bantu", "plurals", "Africans".
Likewise, most mixed-race proudly call themselves "Bastards". Some cannot decide if they must be named "Brown", "Coloured" or "Discoloured".
They were convinced the Whites were holding them back, so they founded their own independent Rehoboth Homeland where statute laws were scribbled into a school text book. They soon demanded a White Minister of Finance.

I don't want to stigmatise them.
What's your problem?
Are you saying that your mentality is that of the apartheid nation?
Well, no, don't answer that.

Its inconceivable how anyone could stigmatize alien nations which had no equivalent word for "dignity". Nor did they have any word for "library" because they had no word for "book". They are happy as a pig in soft soil until told otherwise. They raise their beds with blocks so dwarf tokoloshe trolls cannot reach them. Fresh from the steaming bush, they would carry a wheelbarrow because they knew not the wheel. They bite the hand which feeds them.
Liberal DNA-traitors are my problem. When the pendulum swings, it will not swing alone, all by itself.

Passenger:
Smoking is a filthy, disgusting and dangerous habit.
Alf Garnett:
Dangerous? Dangerous? For your information, the money what come out of the tobacco tax last year was enough to pay for your National Health Service. It's the only thing that keeps the country solvent, innit? Dangerous! Cor blimey, if your country's involved in a war, you can't refuse to come to the colours just because it's bloody dangerous, can yer? People like you who give up smoking because it's dangerous ought to be given white feathers for cowardice, mate. Yeah. I'm smoking for England. And the Queen.
Brilliant.
Start smoking, ya bloody coward!
