Do you think as white men we have enough experience of racist abuse to judge when is a time for valid complaints ?
No, I don't. But you are missing the point entirely. You and I abhor racism and if anyone is guilty of it then they should face the consequences. My point is entirely about someone being declared guilty of a hate crime where they may be totally innocent. If a racist intent is suspected then people should be judged rationally and fairly and the individual should be interviewed by their employer if there is doubt.
If a person is dismissed as a result of an innocent act with no intent whatsoever then that merely compounds injustice and doesn't remedy it.
