I think this racism SL is boring. Is that the best they can come up with?!

That is putting the blame on the victims. I'm glad you work somewhere where there is a lot of friendly banter, but that doesn't detract from the fact that a lot of people still suffer nasty racism and other bigotry on a daily basis. Why should they put up with it just so others can feel better about themselves by putting them down?

I would never want to cause offence, and would apologise immediately if I did so inadvertently. I'm totally bewildered that there are so many people who enjoy making offensive comments, or apologise for the people who do so.

I think that in real life Paul would have apologised immediately ... this is soapland and is meant to provide an exit storyline for a character so it will be padded out for interest sake

Will this really be his exit SL?

Yes, sadly I think it is ... I am very disappointed with most exit storylines these days

If I made what someone took to be a offensive
or racist comment I would have no qualms about apologising immediately even if I didn't think it ws offensive
