Difference being Bridge had every right to not want to shake Terry's hand. If this was the other way round, with Evra refusing to shake Suarez's hand, I bet not as much would have been made of it.
Suarez admitted to saying what Evra claimed he said, his defense was that it wasn't meant as offensive, just a term of endearment.
Why then should he refuse to shake the hand of the guy he didn't mean to offend? Sure he served a ban because of saying it, but if that was me I'd want to apologise to Evra for accidentally offending him, not decide I hate the guy because of the suspension.

However I don't think he is racist. I think it's entirely possible to make a racist comment without being a racist.

What makes you think he isn't? What has he actually done in this situation that makes him look like he isn't racist? Like I've said above, if he isn't racist, and didn't mean to offend Evra, what reason does he have for not shaking the guys hand? What reason does he have for not apologising for accidentally causing offence to Evra when he didn't mean to?
There's a saying that if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it's probably a duck. Suarez did an awful lot of quacking on Saturday.
