1. How does this even work giving that there’s already case law showing the term “coconut” has been up held as [being](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-12685953.amp) racially [offensive](https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/23869523.man-called-norfolk-pc-coconut-admits-hate-crime/)?

   Also, experts on racism? You must be fucking joking.

   Racism’s supposed to be a subjective thing, how can a so-called expert say what was said doesn’t cross their personal threshold bound of racism, so it isn’t racism?

   I guess that’s probably the danger of criminalising speech.
