I just found the main thread on this subject. So i guess this is played.

But yeah, doesn't mean he's a full blooded racist at the time. And any kind of racist now. People change. But then again, it could quite easily be flipped the other way round. There's some resentment past the girlfriend thing there. Maybe it's some of the stereotypes he grew up with.

I mean just cos you have mainly black friends. And live in a predominantly black area. Doesn't mean you don't hear those stereotypes. On a regular enough basis or whatever. Neither does it mean you can't be racist. You may just be supressing it.
