This man has been sacked for telling the truth. Racism or bigotry doesn't enter in to it. Is it not human nature to pick on what we consider to be someone's weakest point, his/her achilles hell, something we know will upset them? Name calling goes on in any group, whether it be workmates, a football crowd, a group of kids in the schoolyard, whatever. What do you call the rather rotund lad or the kid that wears specs, the spotty apprentice or the the coloured lad? It's not fattism, spectaclism, spottism or racism, it's human nature.
