yes, so saying someone proving they arn't racist, that is racist? what?

i think it's a nice thing, the British support people they think is the underdog, and people who they think are being bullied or people who might have a disadvantage..

It's ironic because because taking the side of the disadvantaged person even if they have their own flaws is not egalitarian, but they do it in the hope of trying to be egalitarian.

I mean it's ironic, because Paddy was seen as the minority, even though he was homophobic, and discriminated against other minirities, but he was still supported and not challenged on his own prejudices, but because he was a minority, he was still supported.

to me it sounds like you're trying to say like the proverb.. 'if you lie down with dogs you wake up with flees'
