That's 'opinion', and in my 'opinion' the N word used in any context by a white middle aged well connected bloke is racist. And you might have noticed but I'm not a 'taking life too seriously' kind of bloke.
Just like in some peoples 'opinion' the assault that happened is 'just handbags', it's serious enough for a criminal charge, which in my opinion makes it serious enough for the sack.
You're entitled to your 'opinion' too, but what you wrote above: that's the ridiculous mock outrage that's typical of this debate, I find it immensely funny that the 'Political Correctness gone mad' brigade can't see that 'outrage on behalf of others' isn't exclusive to the lentil knitters.
....It most certainly is my opinion and I stand up for my opinions.
I'm not a sheep and have enough common sense and intelligence to not necessarily agree with how various rules and laws are interpreted - They are all open to being challenged and questioned. That's what is debated in courts.
If someone can't differentiate between what is said in banter, regardless of what is said, and what is said with harsh intent which is likely to be physically acted upon, then that someone is frankly of very limited intelligence and certainly very lacking in a sense of humour.
