No attempt to muddy anything here Doloras, and you can address me directly if you like. 

Lets just say xenophobic instead of racist to appease you, if you're ok with that. 

I'm not straw-manning anything, I was very clear as to exactly what I was saying, and what I wasn't saying - I was not supporting KH by any means, and agree with almost all comments against him in this thread (for the billionth time). 

There is no attempt to muddy any water, this thread is not about this incident exclusively, it's about "things that p*ss you off", and it p*ssed me off that the australian chant was viewed as absolutely fine, despite being xenophobic in a very similar way to the Singh comment made by KH. 

You can dismiss that point of view if you like, but it is telling that you haven't offered any kind of rational explanation as to how it might be wrong. I'd at least appreciate that rather than a dismissive comment without any factual basis.
