What I don't like is the assumption that if someone uses a certain word they're instantly labeled a 'racist'.

A real racist will activley discrimate in real life surely? Just because someone says something someone percieves as being racist, does not by default make them a racist. I see no contridiction.

I really shouldn't get involved in all this, because there's no way on here that I don't make myself look like a 'Daily Mail' reader when I sound off (that's the latest dig for those who don't throw their arms up in horror isn't it?). I just think we''re getting somewhere caught between the thought police and modern parents when we sack people for stupid things said glibly in private life.
