No one's addressed the point about the black man who wrote to The Voice supporting Mr Starkey's comments, and his letter was supported by people in the black community:

"........Khristian Marcus, who described himself as a “black Londoner” in a “normal job”, said Afro-Caribbean children suffered a lack of discipline due to large numbers of absent fathers and mothers left unable to cope.

He wrote: “What I have seen over the last couple of days and known for a while is we as the black 'community’ have major fault lines running through our family structure, and we are now and have been for the longest time, seeing the manifestation of this.”

Mr Marcus’ letter received significant support from commentators on The Voice’s website........."

Are the people mentioned here all racist too? It seems to me that when someone says anything with a racial overtone, lots of white people get upset on black people's behalf. The point is lost, because once white people latch onto the race thing, that's the only thing that is addressed.
