And there are a few 'professionally outraged' members in this thread I see.
It's PC gone mad I tell you. What's the world coming to when you can't compare a black person to a primate? These Loony lefties will be telling us we can't hang them now for being all uppity and above themselves.
You need to take a long hard look at yourself if you think it's acceptable to call people 'monkies' because of their race.
I think you need to take a long hard look at yourself if you get bothered by a name, regardless of what it is. Far worse happens in the World every day; I'll save my outrage for something important if it's all the same to you.
Ah, so because there's worse things going on in the world this is acceptable. You were bothered enough to reply to this thread, I was bothered enough to respond. I'm not especially outraged by it but I think that it's poor in this day and age that people think being derogatory about people's race Is acceptable.
You crack on with your views. I'll crack on with being 'right on'
For the avoidance of doubt, let me make myself clear. I have never said racism is acceptable; it isn't. Ever. Do not tar me with that brush. But I don't choose to live my life being offended by what people say in public about other people, I honestly couldn't care less.
Feel free to be outraged on my behalf if you wish.0 -
I think if you had just said "Racism isn't acceptable. Ever." instead of making several posts apparently ameliorating Tinkov's racism then the thread would have been shorter.0

Again, I'm not outraged. With free speech comes responsibility. Oleg has revealed himself, if it wasn't already clear, as a bit of knob. If the UCI doesn't sanction him then I think it shames them as not being the forward thinking, inclusive organisation it needs to be to take the sport forward.0
