Looking for a black bastard to kill is a bit more than just having prejudicial thoughts - but..yeah..sure...whatever Neeson may have been back in the day doesn't mean that he'll forever and always be that. Not that it matters in the context of whatever damage this revelation has done to his image. That's just the business he's in. People are consuming fantasies that he produces for them, if he's ruined the fantasy, he's ruined the fantasy.
Hell, plenty of actors do this with roles they never recover from. Far from being indicative of some new and sinister trend in pc politics, it's business as usual in show business. Some people, when they turn out the tv to see Liam stalking through the shadows in search of whomever steals his daughter next, won't be able to avoid seeing some unsuspecting black person just around the next corner. Some studios, with plenty of other more marketable choices, will go for the cheaper talent with less baggage.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
