I'm not.
// A Police Scotland spokesman confirmed officers received a report last month of 'xenophobic comments made online' in relation to Mr Mooney's Instagram post.
The spokesman added: 'A full investigation was conducted and it was established that no crime had been committed.
'However, the matter was recorded as a hate incident. No further police action was required.' //
Clearly the Police have plenty of time and money if they can do this

Gromit - // It does not offend me because it was meant in jest. //
That defence is sadly used on many occasions where offence has been taken at something.
The originator of the offence is quick to advise that - because he or she did not mean offence, there is none there, which of course, is not only nonsense, it is an arrogant position to take.
If it were so that no harm was done because none was meant, then there would be a 99% reduction in road deaths instantly, because no-one intends to run over a stranger on purpose. Sadly though, because no harm is meant does not automatically mean that none occurs.

Gromit - // Can’t get my head around the road traffic analogy. //
It means, just because I didn't mean to hurt you does not mean you are not hurt by what I have done.
To offend someone, and then add insult to injury by telling everyone that the reason why they are offended is because they don't possess a sense of humour - like you do - is an arrogant attitude.
It implies a simple lack of empathy and care about upsetting other people because you feel you have a right to say what you want where you want to whom you want.
