Despite the ongoing campaign to highlight certain organisations for condemnation this is something that happens every day in all walks of life in every country on Earth.
Of course I would say that as a white person, good only for being an object of hate and loathing by fat blokes and others with an agenda.

Feelings, if not made public - obviously not.
Jokes......a matter of perception
From my link:
The police and the CPS have agreed the following definition for identifying and flagging hate crimes:
"Any criminal offence which is perceived by the victim or any other person, to be motivated by hostility or prejudice, based on a person's disability or perceived disability; race or perceived race; or religion or perceived religion; or sexual orientation or perceived sexual orientation or transgender identity or perceived transgender identity."
There is no legal definition of hostility so we use the everyday understanding of the word which includes ill-will, spite, contempt, prejudice, unfriendliness, antagonism, resentment and dislike.

There has been a recent case where a man challenged the fact that the Police had turned up on his doorstep (I think he may have been at work) and said that he was being charged on the grounds of a comment made on social media which indicated he might be about to commit a hate crime. He won and I think it was this which changed the law.
Tried Googling it but couldn't find anything (I heard it on Radio 4 about a month ago).

I think the difference is that the man suspended was a former policeman and some of the other people in the group were also former policeman. If I hold discriminatory views, express them, then there is a limit to their effect, but if the police hold those views then it can have much more of an impact.
