I agree that Audley cannot choose his skin colour but Kellie can choose to be transgender (kind of) so the example doesn't add up. But I don't think she meant it in a racist way, she just used a bad example.

I accept that it was a bad choice of wording from a not very erudite individual and that she possibly didn't mean it in a racist way, but I wouldn't be too sure of it knowing which neck of the woods he comes from. Racism is still alive and present under the surface. And as you pick up on my point there is a dichotomy in his example.
You also have to understand the emnity between the two, mostly from Frank/Kellies end, Audley was just the recipient of some extremely nasty actions, anyway it was savage, they wanted to take him down and would have seriously stopped at nothing to achieve their goal. So I wouldn't rule anything out. I can't see changing gender will change his mind set.
No I am not trying to say that Kellie is gay, I was just widening the debate.
Mebbez we've gone far enough :-)
