  Its Keith who totally misses the point (and ignores my comment on the Mandie issue) as no-one is defending attacks on people because of their race. It is is the way harmless comments are being interpreted as offensive remarks. Even so, once again I repeat, the right to offend must be defended as a key part of free speech. I suspect you did not read the article on the link, Keith.
  
  Another idiotic pc situation has now arisen in Edinburgh. In a play about Al Jolson, the great American singer who used to black up, the producers have decided the actor playing Jolson should not do so. That takes away an historical fact and an essential part of the Jolson experience. Even Equity who say they would not normally approve of blacking up have said that playing Jolson is one instance where it would be justified.
