Subject: RE: BS: Tommy Teirnan - raving racist or what?
Nothing is funny about the comments themselves, Azizi. Taken out of context, as has happened here, they are every bit as vile as they appear. He seems to have illustrated his point rather well, judging by the response.

I really don't think it's fair to misrepresent someone in this manner; there's quite enough real, tangible, definable racial hatred about as it is. Let's fight that with every means possible. Slagging off comedians just doesn't do it for me; they're a soft target, like any entertainer has to be, and the potential for misunderstanding in comedy is self-evident, as we seem to have proved here.
