The man tried to make a joke for god's sake!...he did not shout "Death To The Veil-Wearing Charlatans!" [or something else to that effect!]
...Granted, the attempt at humour was pretty weak...and also thoughtlessly misplaced , because the producers of the show that he's on were always hoping for Ron to give them a cheap bit of publicity [otherwise, why would they have paid loads of dosh to have a relatively boring, knackered old football has'been on the show?]
It was not racist at all!..it was throwaway humour!...The very same throwaway humour that is constantly being used by comedians up and down the country...nay!...world-wide!
For anyone that disagrees with my assessment of the 'non-event' ...please study the links below that are perfect examples of the real 'Voice Of Reason' by people that are eminently more qualified to comment and set the boundaries of "Political Correctness" than most [if not all] of the people feigning indignation on these threads...before commentating on this post thank you!....

ps...don't just skip the links...if nothing else, ...they might just make you smile!
