It is a bad tasted joke racial abuse is when you make deliberate slurs to hurt someone.

He made it for attention not to cause offence

It's just not in any shape of form racist.

It is clear he wants attention and everyone is giving it him if he was ignored he would disappear

You will never know what true racism is until you have dealt with it personally

Oh, right. Thank you for that little factoid.

I imagine a lot of people are capable of letting bigoted and offensive things wash over them and laugh it off, good for them it should never get them down, don't let the twats win. But that doesn't make it not bigoted and not racist.

Racism isnt a yes or no deal, its more of a scale, wouldnt you agree?
I think I can guess what you mean by "true racism"
But "true racism" doesnt detract from this being quite racist... or shouldnt anyway..
People are allowed to be upset over something thats inarguably, at the least, moderately racist, even if it doesnt compare to whatever you believe "true racism" to be.
