I don't see how those two statements can be anything other than contradictory. If you're not sexist or racist they're not funny!
It is a stupid thing he is doing though if he is only talking racist with his friend it is a little bad luck that it was read. If he is saying to everyone it is very bad but he is keeping it secret to be professional. Not good behaviour but Britain is famous for having spies in everywhere. Your crazy media will kill him before they have happy conclusion to that.
It's called context, you could say to your little brother that your going to kill him when he's annoying you, doesn't mean you should be brought up on an attempted murder charge.
To many people these days are trying to force their morals and humour on other people, if they don't like something they should look away or change the channel, not everyone want's to live in a hippy do-gooder world with fluffy bunny rabbits.
I like my humour edgy, be it racist, **** or rape jokes, all topics can be funny if the teller of said joke is skilled enough. Even though I find those acts revolting in reality, when used in a theatre of the mind context where there's no real victim the brutality of those jokes can be incredibly funny if delivered the right way. Enough with the white liberal agenda where it 's seemingly a game between bloggers to see which one can feign offense quickest on behalf of so-called minorities who weren't even offended to begin with but needs a white knight student blogger to save them, apparently
Here's a Charles Barkley(awesome ex-basketball player/pundit) video from ESPN were he say's why it's his right to drop the n-bomb...

I wonder if Tan is willing to show his text and phone messages from the same time period as he was spying on Mackay, I say that as I've always found old Asian men to be stunningly racist with zero banter or humour when they do it.
Maybe I should get a bit more het up when Aussies tell me I come from England and was born out of wedlock
Malky is a fat odious ****. It doesn't matter though he will be back managing some club in 6-12 months anyway.

And there is exactly what I was saying. But the context will define if it's a joke about race or if its a racist joke. One can be extremely clever, cutting and edgy. The other (in my opinion) is lazy, bigoted and unfunny. I don't think anything is off-limits as a subject for humour, and humour can in fact be one of the best ways to tackle bigotry and prejudice. Maybe I am a product of my time, but I like PC. I don't think PC has to be boring or un-edgy. Personally, I think one of the cleverest and funniest (and edgiest) comedians at working within the theatre of the mind is Stewart Lee, and you will struggle to find anybody who defends political correctness or what it stands for more than he does.
As for looking the other way when people are discriminating against another group of people based on their ethnicity, religion or sexuality I think that's the cowards choice. Its not a case of feigning offence. I firmly believe that if we act in a way that discriminates against a certain group of people based on any of those factors it is wrong. I may not have been a student blogger, but if blogs had been invented when I was a student I hope I would have been one.
