Racial Abuse?

An inappropriate remark, but 'Racial Abuse'? I don't really think so.
We do not know what prompted this elderly gentleman to make this remark, but we do know he could have worded it better.
A small proportion of children (from whatever tribe) behave badly in supermarkets and other establishments, without any redress from their parents.
Surely if Ms Husain had a grievance with the 'elderly gentleman' she could have taken it up with him personally, without the need to play the 'Race Card', involve the supermarket's manager or posting it on Twitter?

Totally agree with you, AOG. This woman was told to control her children, who were obviously playing up, she didn't like being told what to do... So pulled out the "racist" card. Going to the store manager is just pathetic. If you have an issue with someone, just confront them there and then. The store manager can't do anything about what one shopper says to...

IMO it's an unfortunate comment - these children ARE English children and the old man sounds like an unhappy bigot. My brother has four children and when they were little they were often referred to as "the tribe". I would have confronted the man straight away. If the old guy worked at the shop that's a different matter, but I can't see how the store could prevent bigots shopping.
