Well, to prove the point, how many people on this forum were quick to jump to the defense of Jim Davidson or that other "funny racist" old man a couple of years ago on CBB? The one who said something about "jungle beats". Can't remember his name.
Anyway, plenty of people were very quick to excuse that, including some people who appear to have a problem with this?
