It was a comment that would have been easy to miss as he buried it in the context of one of his other comments, probably assuming I wouldn't notice it. With his skewed thinking it would have been "ammunition" at a future date and time. It was there nevertheless and it is offensive. Racism has to be confronted always and this instance is no different from any other.
I have a different opinion of racism than you do. I really don`t care if people dislike me because of my race/ethnicity. It has no impact on my life whatsoever. I don`t pay much attention to celebutards, but I agree with Oprah Winfrey that "excellence is the best deterrent to racism." I am actually very uncomfortable with anyone who tries to censor speech. We see this in Europe with any politician that dares to express even the slightest opposition to Islamic ideology. IMHO, the worst racism is the racism of lowered expectations. That is a real tragedy.
