Why do racism, prejudice and bigotry have to be part of our everyday lives?

Be honest. Don’t you get a bit sick of the darkies/queers/knackers etc complaining? You’ve got your problems. Who asks about you? You’re not prejudiced. You know a gay black traveller and he’s a real character, plays games against you in the alley, him barehanded, you with your hurley and the thing about him is you can slag him and he gives as good as he gets. It’s the moaning and whingeing crowd that annoy you.
Maybe the column isn’t for you this week.
