Liverpool on Sunday was a better OG
And this is the problem - unfortunately we are all flawed in our nature.

'Let him who is without sin cast the first stone' seems massively appropriate here!
Maybe he should now be sent on a diversity training course as well? Talk about pot and kettle. If only we took such a dim view of anti-semitism in this country as we seem to do about prejudice in other areas.

Doesn’t change anything, this is bigger than Rafiq, Vaughan, Ballance, or whoever else. Takes a brave person to put themselves in the firing line, and he’s done that warts and all.
It sure does but I'm sure they'll be a lot of folks along to defend him quite soon.

It's only a matter of time before Sidwell drags us into this mess by claiming that fellow pros and people within the club made hurtful anti ginger remarks

You didn't type that quick enough! See post above mine for details. Nobody said this revelation excused anything but he looks a massive hypocrite now!
I suspect that his recent televised performance will now be viewed in a slightly less sympathetic light... and rightly so.

To you it would always be a wrong-un, for obvious reasons.
We do not all write hideous, racist comments about Jewish people though.

So Vaughan, Bresnan, Hales and Hoggard all implicated so far..........
Anyone else I've missed (or anyone else he held a grudge against)

What an absolute plum.
All racism matters
That said, anyone who thinks it's fine now to invite cricket to carry on like nothing happened doesn't get it.
Just for the record, when I was 14 I wrote in my diary that the solution to racism was to repatriate all foreigners. I had never ever spoken to a 'foreigner' (black person) when I was 14

Funnily enough i suspect his recollections of XXX making a racist remark XXX years ago might dry up now.

I agree wholeheartedly that all racism matters and for completeness I would add that expressions of racism should always be viewed equally regardless of who the abuse is aimed at.
