I now worship Reggie Yates.

I just watched a show on BBC3 where Reggie went to talk to Russian Nationalists in the heart of Russia.

Long story short he got used for propaganda, got racially abused in public (F*cking black guy, go burn on a cross, go dry your bananas) and had some guy down a fight club (nationalist fight club) said his children will have a high chance of being born freaks because he's of mixed heritage.

Think I worship this guy now.

I am not. I just don't see what the big deal is.
I remember him from 'Smile' on CBBC on Sunday mornings and I've always loved him

I loved Reggie Yates extreme Russia programmes! Have you seen the South African and USA programmes Reggie has done? They're just as insightful as the extreme Russia ones!

Why don't you watch the damn episode rather than demand explanations from people?

I just do get it. This is what these people are meant to do. It is their job.

Smile! That's the name of the show, I watched that show when I was very young and remember it very faintly and remember really enjoying it. It's the show where it's mainly yellow and Nev the bear and the blonde girl right?
Have massive respect for Reggie, venturing into those territories in Russia! It was really interesting that side of Russia that we rarely get to see. And with regards to his other programmes on the USA and South Africa, reminds me a bit of the great Louis Theroux! Both great journalists!

And this video is probably one of the most awesome things on YouTube :lol:
