If you had no wish to be racist......then...why were you?
On the quiet...just between me and you....Go on...admit it...You really did want to be racist there...didn't you?
Do you still go to the paki shop? and the chinky chippie? and do they make you chant Islamic stuff before serving you with your baked beans? Horrid innit?
...and are corrupt white Europeans a whole better class than those greasy foreign ones?
Come on Paul...educate us...please.
Or are you short of attention these days and in need of a man hug?
Sad either way.
It's standard for 21st century racism, subtle forms of it aren't really worth it, instead you just need a simple disclaimer: "I'm not racist, but..."
Instant plausible deniability, leading to a comeback about how overreactions and political correctness are ruining Britain/the World. It's a simple and sometimes effective workaround, it's just that McClaren is too much of a dullard to realise that he's lampooning himself. To be honest, I don't mind that at all, I much prefer now when people tell you straight out that they're racist so you can put them on ignore etc. and not have to listen to any more.
