Racism is created by and proliferates in proportion to the actions of racist people. Racism is as mindless as a war that continues long after all sides have forgotten what is was they were fighting about.
Racism is the refusal to treat people as autonomous individuals responsible only for their own actions. Racism is why I hesitate to define myself as a member of the human race.

Ofcom investigated McDonald's remark and decided
" In the case of this programme, Sir Trevor McDonald obviously, and intentionally, drew on Bernard Manning�s own style of humour, which frequently played on the real or apparent prejudices of his audience. The comments were clearly intended to parody Manning�s own comedy, where he claimed he was not himself racist, but simply made �jokes� based on racial stereotypes. It was in such a context that Sir Trevor McDonald could therefore state that he did not consider Manning to be a racist but then went on to say that he was ��a fat white *******�.
Taking the above into account, therefore, we do not believe this specific expression went beyond the likely expectations of an audience for a satirical news-based comedy programme broadcast well after the watershed, and that any offence that may have been caused was justified by the context. "
