    Is that a slur? It has a racial component, sure, but I hardly think it is actually a racist comment, and definitely not a slur. And to label it as “racially motivated harassment” is laughable.

    If this is actually what Kerr said, it’s pretty indicative of the systemic issues that have been popping up in the UK for awhile now. They’ve been travelling further and further down the fascist highway since Brexit.
