Discriminating/insulting any group based on provenience or ancestry is racism, also by law (in the Europe that REH hates so much). If a shopkeeper puts out a sign like "French won't be served here", he will be prosecuted for racism, even though the French are not a race. The same goes for religious or gender groups (by the same law) although they're not a race either.
And when REH links Sarkozy's personal behavior to his alleged Mongolic ancestry, that's racism. So, REH's excuses are not convincing at all, and he even repeated ... > I stand by my judgment that Chris was being a pig. [Actually, his statement was "you're such a pig", not just "you're being .."] ... in reply to Arthur's admonition that ... | Personal attacks or racial slurs are not welcome here | as they are not welcome in a real life situation. It is hard to understand why Arthur doesn't draw the consequences. I wouldn't have lost a word about this, not even about the "pig" insult, but if expulsion from the list is being considered, no double standards please.
