I think there are enough posts in this topic to bear that out and there is certainly no shortage of them in the topics about that particular case.

True enough but that racial prejudice is a two edged sword. I've actually had someone tell me "I'm not prejudiced, I'm black." However, being an Irishman, I'm sure you've had enough experience with these things to know it will never stop until both sides of the coin agree to stop instead of getting even. And where do you draw the line between simply disliking someone who just happens to be of another race, and being labelled a bigot because you dislike them? Very fuzzy these days to be sure but I refuse to bear the stigma for past actions that have nothing to do with me except for my race.
