/// Amongst the 15-strong committee criticised was one black man, who called the image “insulting”. The chairman of the union’s National Black Members Committee went further, saying it was “offensive and racist”. ///
After a four-and-a-half year legal battle, costing £100,000, it has been pronounced, 'not racist'.
At last a victory for common sense, don't you think?

Newspapers will publish stories which go to show that those who shout 'racist' are so very frequently nuts.
They do this by printing stories such as the primary school kid who was branded a racist for repeatedly asking if a black peer was from Africa.
Within this narrative framework, it's easy to believe that all claims of racism are frivolous.
As an analogy - imagine if papers only ever published stories where women had cried rape, only to recant or be proven liars. This seems to be the case with racism claims.
We only ever seem to read about the ones which on the face of it, seem ridiculous, and the danger there is that where someone has a *genuine* grievance, there's an increased likelihood that they will be viewed as another case of 'crying racism'.
Dangerous path.
