"Well, of course. Everone has the right to offend."
Individuals maybe - that comes with having controversial ideas (which ened to offend nearly everybody)
Nobody should have the right to offend entire ethnic groups - nobody
The worst of that is now illegal in Britain - it should be everywhere
The last ten years have impacted on all our lives because the race vard has been bought into politics again and re-awoken the dormant Xenophobia those of us brought up in post Empire Britain took in with our school milk
I'm afraid you can't separate racism from either its politics or its social implications - it has been part of British life since 2016 and it gave the world an insane US President
It shouldn't be a long-running detailed issue here, but it's very much a part of why racism should be a thing of the past forever - in all forms
If you need evidence of this, I can think of six million witnesses immediately from my lifetime
