Donald Sterling and Racism

[dps]

What are the chances Sterling has racist rants by other owners on tape or on paper, signed?

What are the chances he has "unwise" emails from the other owners? Dunno. Given the general stupidity people display around emails, it is possible.

What are the chances he ever learned how to check email?

Not as good as the chances that he's hired someone to do it for him.

How does this address the Malthus quote you posted? 

Malthus' point was the argument could be made  it wasnt unethical because others also do it.   Unless I have entirely missed his point.

If that isnt the argument then how could the evidence of others being racist assholes possibly be relevent?

He had 2 separate points, as I understood it.  One of them was that he may have evidence that other owners are racist assholes, but the one he was talking about in the part of his post that you had quoted was that a racist opinion expressed to his girlfriend shouldn't be considered an unethical business practice, because it has nothing to do with running his business.  At least, that's how I understood his position.

How do you get from that understanding to our discussion of whether evidence that others are assholes might be relevant?

Continuing the Jeremy Clarkson hijack:

It also emerged on Friday that lawyers are planning to write to Barack Obama and the ambassadors of every country in which Top Gear is aired asking them if the BBC motoring series should continue to be broadcast.

Lawrence Davies, director of the law firm Equal Justice, branded Top Gear as "racist" and told MediaGuardian his firm did not accept the apology Clarkson had made.

Davies said: "We are to write to every ambassador and the US president next week asking them to consider the evidence and then to decide if this racist show should be broadcast in their country in future."

Makes sense.
