Somebody using the N word or somebody referring to something as 'gay' is maybe a little bit ignorant but they're just words...

Mel Gibson is an anti-Semite. He hates Jewish people. This is well documented. There's a difference between the kind of unjustifiable hatred in that man's heart and somebody referring to somebody as a "******" or something.

What you and Vicky said. They remain significant issues here but are nowhere near as prominent as they often get painted out as.

And I've never understood the 'gay' thing. I know it's a sensitive thing but when people refer to things as that they're usually on about it being rubbish and the like. Maybe there's something behind it I dunno but for me it depends on the context.

Eminen's new album is an example.
