I'm on your side Crash, but it can't forgiven as a 'mistake'. Everyone knows that where race is concerned you have to be ultra careful choosing your words so that they can't be misunderstood and used by people like those two 'white' TV presenters. What concerns me more is the latent/hidden/systemic racism I sensed when the two white guys were talking. They tried to cover it by being generally unpleasant about everything, but it was sitting there and rose to the surface every now and then. Why does America tolerate this?
