Fair question. In a P.C. world if someone makes a comment about black people, muslims, Jews, Catholics and Protestants their is always a majority backlash in the name of equality.
On occassion these backlashes can be ideallic, even self-righteous and a lot of the time I feel people just say what they know is socially acceptable rather than what they really think.
Do you have any right to repremand someone who uses the word nig.ger if you've ever laughed or told a Michael Jackson joke, or made fun of chavs or Gypsies? Have you ever laughed at the jokes in South Park depicting Jews as stereotypes? Have you ever crossed the street to avoid a group of black youths, chavs or skin heads? Have you ever made fun of blondes or ginger people? Is that not a form of bigotry and prejudice?
Is there such a thing as good natured racism? Or sensible racism? Are there more socially acceptable forms of bigotry than others? Or is everyone accountable for their comments regardless?
