Perhaps the interesting thing about this is that Trevor's real name is George

and he changed it to hide the fact that he had come from the West Indies, in a time when racism was rife in the UK and it would have seriously hindered his career to be seen to be part of a culture which was 'taking our jobs', much as it is not healthy to be a Muslim in some fields now.

He has gone on to be knighted, so it's a shame that we are reduced to an entire board full of casual racism today.

eeek

i was just swapping black for white, with out seriously thinking of any racial undertones.

i must admit, this compo is an excuse for a bit of blatent racism, and will be used by some (a minor few) for such things

I don't actually mind people who are racist on purpose, at least they are standing up for what they believe in

but I hate casual racism.

I don't think your post is racist btw.
