I’m of mixed race, and after the reaction on here yesterday to a throw away quip I posted I’m not in the least bit surprised at today’s events.
It seems ok to joke about Ginger people, the Irish being thick, the Scots being tight, Jimmy Saville etc. We really are in danger of disappearing up our own arses.
Thousands of people would have got txts like that tweet on their phones.
The difference between attempted humour, and being a real hateful racist are oceans apart.
