slippery slope

it used to be acceptable to make Paki and spastic jokes, for instance

very (very) fine line between humour and casual racism/sexism/bigotry.

We can't say one is mere banter whilst condoning others.

PLUS, more to the point, the ideot has tried the 'joke' barely 12 hours after calling out racism so the hypocrisy is a little too obvious
