Some people are very easily offended. I lived in England for 15 years. Cant say I ever received any craaap.
Personally, my thought on the matter is - if an individual makes a racist, sectarian or bigotted comment about me then why should I be bothered about a persons opinion who means nothing to me ? I'm more concerned about the opinions of those I respect.
Clearly when t comes to those in the media spotlight there's alot more scrutiny. It does appear that racism in particular is a one-way street. loaded in favour of minorities as you've highlighted.
But as I mentioned at the start. People can be too easily offended by comments from aholes whose opinion is irrelevant. The sooner people stop responding to such idiots and not give them a vehicle or the media attention to peddle their snash then the sooner such idiots will disappear
"It does appear that racism in particular is a one-way street."
Absolutely.
Can you imagine if musicians had a MOWO Awards shindig?
Yeah Ish we'd struggle to find a worthy winner
But steps are on the telly now..
its hard to say where its all went wrong
miby we are giving these minorities to much of a say nowdays
i think we should just go back to the days where we just ignored there complaints and let the chips grow larger on there shoulders
if they dont like it they can just go back to where they come from ey ?
im kidding by the way - well said esctosh
times have changed and its time to move on

"But steps are on the telly now."
How LITTLE are you, LittleMiss, if you needs steps on yer telly?
I have a confession, I'm going to their concert in April with my mates
Maybe we should all just shake hands - that'll sort it
Only if I can wear gloves
Ish, that is pretty bad. I'm actually not little at all, I'm 5ft 7.
You are going to see Steps LMC ? Why ?
LittleMiss... a mate of mine, who goes to hundreds of concerts, saw them back when they were first around. Said they put on a really great show. Mimed to most songs, right enough... but very entertaining.
Cheesy POP ec. They were the big band when I was at school/college.
H....
what does it stand for ?
Hyperactive, apparently
Ish, going with my 3 pals, will be a good laugh. I want to go see saturdays too, but no-one will go with me
What wld happen if the Saturdays played on a Sunday ?
I'll go with ye... as long as I get to wear earplugs and x-ray spex
Ish,

Anybody see Peter frampton the other night? My son was there - great night apparently. Good when he was with Humble Pie.
