Yes. It's only past experience and transgressions that are the reason race is such an issue. In modern Britain it should be considered no more of a taboo than any other subject.
Nothing should be any more 'off limits' than anything else in a tolerant and open society. That it is speaks volumes for how abysmally we fail at being tolerant and open - people needing to tread on eggshells to avoid other people taking offence on behalf of third parties.
People who hold serious racist views should be treated with amusement and disdain, they aren't worth getting offended over.
