He added: “I cannot be bullied, shut up or kicked off the TV.”
In his original video, Jim slammed the dance troupe.
Speaking on his channel in a video titled Who Needs Diversity?, he said: “Diversity, what the [bleep] do you want? You want to be famous, don’t you? You want to be all around the world.
What more can people do before you say, ‘Oh that’s enough now?’
“That’s why you’re doing it, you don’t give a [bleep about George. [Bleeping] ridiculous. What more can people do before you say, ‘Oh that’s enough now?’ You don’t see white couples on adverts anymore, do you? Most TV presenters are non-white.
“And there’s loads of white people sticking up for you. Young white girls walking around with banners, ‘defund the police’, ‘support black people’. Well, I say most young girls.
Jim Davidson calls Diversity performance ‘indulgent’
“Gemma’s sister is not holding up a banner as she was violently mugged by three black men. Perhaps Diversity can do a mugging thing.”
In the routine, the group’s frontman Ashley Banjo was knelt on by a fellow dancer dressed as a policeman, to reflect the way George was killed by officers.
