Yes.

Hence my viewpoint.

I don't see malky as some one who would bully people and persecute people for their race or sexual orientation. But if he's done that too then that saddens me further.

The texts were throwaway "jokes" but bullying and targeting people for their race/sexual orientation is what I would class as racism

Perhaps it'll come out that he's done just that though. Who knows. We all thought we knew him and loved him before the texts wiped that out.
