Re: Diane Abbott apologises in 'race' row

Agree with that. If this episode serves to show those who automatically like to jump on the prejudice bandwagon how it feels to be relentlessly harangued over a silly mistake, Abbott will have done us all a favour. Perhaps they'll be a bit more understanding next time a high profile white person makes a racial faux pas with no malice intended. I doubt it, though, as for some people malice and intent don't seem to matter.

Anyway, the question remains does she really accept that what she was offensive or is her apology insincere? Maybe time will tell...
