He's still free to be racist as much as he wants to but everyone else is free to react to it.
I'm so tired of the whole 'poor little racist' routine, they bring it on themselves by considering people lesser if they have a different colour skin to them. If you're going to be openly racist, you've got to be prepared for the consequences and as someone who works in the public eye, this arsehole should have known better.
