Yeah. He was always going to be seen as different through no fault of his own, and some perhaps subconsciously allow that to play a role in how they treat him. Whether that could be considered racism or not is up for debate but at the very least it's harsh and uncalled for. And it's quite sad too, really. On the other hand though, there are plenty of white people who have also suffered the same sort of treatment, John, Halfwit, Richard etc. So maybe it really is a case of being ostracised based on personality rather than race, but even still it's pretty rough to watch.
