For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I wonder how many here have said something dubious in the past that would now have people calling them out? I know I certainly have in my younger days, but I certainly don't consider myself racist. And although, as I said earlier, Mr Rafiq should still be held accountable, I don't think anybody who once made a racist comment is automatically still a racist. If it is the case that one instance is all it takes for one to be forever branded a racist (and that goes for some Rafiq has accused too), then 99% of us are also guilty.
My husband is from a different generation from me. He says the Yorkshire cricket racism is “just banter”. I said it might just be banter to him but it’s not for the Asian players. It’s hurtful, and Michael Vaughan is not a nice person.
I think Rafiq is on sticky ground now though for having said disparaging things referring to Jews.
