Amazing isn't it, how many people of non-white ethnicity will scream racist at the slightest provocation even when there is no hint of racist behavior.
This oversensitive muslim gentleman demonstrates the point more than adequately:
A Muslim Tesco worker claimed that he was a victim of race discrimination because he was compared to Tommy Cooper, the late comedian, for wearing a fez to work.
Kester Charles Bey took the supermarket giant to an employment tribunal over the comparisons to the popular TV comedian and magician of the 1970s.
Mr Bey claimed that because of his “Moorish” background, describing him as looking like Cooper was both religious and racial harassment.
Cooper, whose act portrayed him as the conjurer whose tricks never succeeded, rose to prominence in the 1960s when he started to appear on television, usually wearing a fez.
No surprise then that the judge threw out his case!
