As a sober drunk (16 years sober), I wouldn't go that far.
I grew up in a country of systemic racism with The White Australia Policy. This was not abolished until 1975, when I was 28. Suddenly, the racist attitudes I had ben taught were no longer [officially }acceptable .
I have struggled with racist feelings for a very long time. This is not a major imperative, it's just something of which I need to be aware. We can't control our feelings, which are morally neutral. We CAN control what we say and do. Those things have consequences
I empathise with Liam Neeson and think he has been crucified by the humbug or the politically correct.
That'll learn him to be honest in such a public way.
The problem is Liam has yet to be honest about his racist attitudes.
