"PC gone mad" is my personal favourite.

So everything's going over you head and you've set up your hagged, hackneyed straw man, disengaging your brain to such an extent in the process that you can't even muster a more exciting adjective than mad.

Madness.

Can't work out if that's racist or not

Technically all four counts aren't fine as it's assault.

True, but the fourth would be called a hate crime.

What if a nobel prize candidate said "I'll never lose to a black guy"?

what is it with this thread? The people saying it's racist are talking bullshit, the people saying it's not are talking bullshit and the more it's going on, the more common sense appears to be diminishing

white anglo-saxon heterosexual men are the most persecuted group in history iirc

Didn't know Tim Henman had gone into boxing.

Hmmm.

In the context, it's hardly an issue.

Do I think Calzaghe would have got different treatment if he'd have said something similiar? Yeah. That's because anyone with even a modicum of intelligence can see the difference.

It's like if I tell you your Mum is a slag. Trouble is your mum just died last year.

I think what I'm trying to say is that Joe Calzaghe's Mum didn't die last year, so it's alright to bring her into things, wheras a Black person's metaphorical Mum has been dying for the last 200 years, so it's best not to look like a complete dick and take the **** out of her.
