TBH it wouldn't offend 99% of the black community. It only offends when you want it to. Im Irish and have been called everything from Paddy to potato muncher and I just laugh it off. However if I was in a competition and I knew it was laid on me to wind me up, I guess I would make an issue of it just to level the playing field. Alex thought Ken was getting a bit too big for his boots so he used the race card to shut him up.

Ken wasn't nasty and Alex wasn't upset, it is however food and fodder for forums and I guess perceptions will differ depending on peoples ideals, morals and agenda.
