Is that I have to politely listen to some ignorant xenophobe ranting about immigrants because it isn't considered good form to tackle someone's racism. Instead you're supposed to:
a) Nod politely whilst screaming inside;
b) back away as quickly as possible and call them a bigot in private (like Mr Brown)
c) Try to subtly change the subject onto something more neutral.
If you do neither of these three things and you dare tackle casual racism you will be made an outcast, people will think you are 'bang out of order' and will often side with the racist. If it gets into the tabloid press then you become part of the nazi-like PC brigade and you are painted as the intolerant one.
I really hate nodding politely as more senior work colleagues spout casual racism.
