It's PC bollox most of it. Gives Talksport and 5Live something to talk about. Sadly there are the odd bigots about but over past 20 years it has virtually died out.

In a few months other issues will come to the fore again-hooliganism, players cheating, goal line technology etc....and the matter will go on the backburner again.
