[QUOTE=superfeathers;5349159]Perhaps. I can explain my rationale but we would just end up arguing all night. In short though, whilst making fun of a group of peoples appearance is wrong and racist (we talked at length about this on the 'gammon debate' recently) I think insinuating that a black man cannot be 'successful' and black contains within it far more dangerous and divisive ideas. I have long rallied against the kind of thinking that leads to her saying that, which comes from a different angle from 'traditional racism' but is equally dangerous and I'd argue more prevalent now.
Anyway people say stupid things and she's apologised so thats good.
I like this take on it from Ryan Long: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ev373c7wSRg
