There have been many racist comedians/comedies though and nobody was arrested for that.I've heard black comedians call white people 'crackers' many many times and generalise them as a group,That is racism too.It was comedy,Tasteless comedy yes but i think banning speech veers dangerously into Saudi Arabian-esque dictatorship territory.Should John Cleese be arrested?Or Prince Harry?
