Why is it that racists can do whatever they want, then they apologize and all is forgiven?
Oh, he apologized. Alrighty then.
I am tired of apologies, I live in South Africa and the situation remains much the same, racists events occur, there is outrage, the offender apoligises and becuase of the ideology of reconciliation everybody accepts.
The cycle repeats because there are no consequences, beyond a most likely false apology
What was that? A misinterpretation of an existing commercial law? There’s a commercial law that prohibits non-English?
