Is Cricinfo or BBC really biased in regard of cult, creed or colour? I think one needs to examine the issue of how one conceptualises “racism” and “a racist.” It is easy to take a neo-Nazi as a typical racist and from this typification move to the argument that anyone who is not a neo-Nazi or anyone who does not openly express vilification of others of different skin-colour is not racist. This is oversimplified reasoning.

The racial biological argument is absolute nonsense. Simply put, biological "race" can NEVER be used as a serious independent variable if it is not quantified in an accurate way, and there is NO WAY to quantify it accurately. Thus, the whole complaint by tglover is pretty overwhelming, over egoistic, over emotional and reactinary-racism in my point of view.
