However, I cannot accept that standards of speech or conduct are racist. Anyone can learn to speak and act in a particular way. Societies always value the speech and behaviour habits of their ruling classes above those of the ruled classes.

Anyone who denies this should consider the career paths of, let us say, Waheed Alli (now Lord Alli), Vincent Nelson QC, or Mr Justice Mota Singh.

Or you could contrast the behaviour of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and his uncle into whose house he came.
