That wouldn't be the angle I'm coming from. At a guess I reckon RH said it legitimately innocently as he is probably so far from racist it didn't occur to him, plus the team (and likely the FA) know him well enough to be sure he didn't mean it in a negative context.
My view is this story was only leaked in an attempt to get racism at the highest (footballing) level discussed in the media.
