in response to your edit
to get away with "casual racism = funny"
you have to demonstrate that you are not actually casually racist
Mykey has done that (although he teases around the edges quite often) ... you haven't (yet)

and even when the regulars know it isn't serious, it looks pretty nasty to a noob or a passing visitor

Can you point me to Mykey doing that,
other than where he's losing an argument?
I'd be impressed.
I agree, Parrott does come across like he genuinely means it.

Granted it's usually the last post of an argument he's lost as you say.
But I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. An ill-informed would-be-tory yes. A cunt. Certainly. But probably not a racist.
