Crayfish issue not as bad as Canada.

Yes. Absolutely. What you said.

There is no debate here when people argue from false premises

More racism from Daily Mail readers

Sky Sports apologises after Dick Best makes live race slur against Delon Armitage:

Dick Best was being interviewed live by Sky Sports ahead of the official announcement of the British Lions squad to tour South Africa.
After his choices for the trip were displayed on screen - including Trinidad-born Armitage - Best was asked why he had selected the England player over Irish winger Tommy Bowe.

Apparently unaware that his microphone was still on, he replied: 'You've always got to have a coloured boy in the team.'

The camera then quickly cut back to the studio where black presenter Mike Wedderburn looked visibly shocked.

Only three comments have made it through (or are fit even for the Daily Mail to print):

Dumb thing to say but hardly a hanging offense. It never fails to amaze me that people get more enraged by a few silly words than they do by people getting murdered on our streets.
Humans are remarkably idiotic mammals.

This comment is 9 up. As usual, the justification that 'far worse is happening in the world, so why worry about this' is a logical fallacy wheeled out by a blatant racist. Another comment: 'His comment was crass and stupid and totally unnecessary!' is one in the red, whilst this:

Sorry Dick, but there is no defence for such a comment.

Is 5 in the red. Obviously quite a few Daily Mail readers think the comment is perfectly easy to defend.
