Good point. When the distinction between racism and a send-up of same becomes almost invisible, things get a bit dicey.

(and everyone who's listened to "Truck Drivin' Man" knows that being politically correct is not exactly a concern of Shane's.)

"Just because there's a tendency for some jackasses to take Political Correctness to ludicrous extremes does not mean that everybody else automatically gets a free pass to be assholes."

I can't speak for Shane of course but:
I believe in balance and harmony, if there is ludicrous extreme of PC (ludicrous extreme of anything) i feel like i have to do something to countervail it on one hand and to demonstrate and underline its ludicrousness on the other, with jackasses I shall play the meanest bastard and it will be my greatest pleasure....

in the book "a drink with shane macgowan" theres a bit about calling a spade a spade in one of the chapters, when victoria challenges him about this , shane in his own words says he has to fight against his own prejudice, maybe someone has the book to hand and they can post the relevant paragraphs , try looking under don letts if there is an index...
