Not sure if the use of 'pristine white' to represent innocence is an appropriate phrase in this discourse.
Sweet mother of God, you have to be kidding me. If he did it on multiple occasions, then yes, he deserves what he gets. When I read the article I only recalled a slant on Jewish people in regards to money, my point was if people on this board want others to lose their career over 1 moment then that's ludicrous. If it's a repetitive behaviour then he deserves everything he gets. Suspect you meant to quote some other post, however, his texts were far more wide ranging in their attacks than you recall. My recollection is that a number were directed at others too. Hate to refer to the Telegraph, however:
Telegraph
And whilst he has his supporters
He's now ok
If this is an accurate report (though the source is almost as bad as some random twitter account)
WARNING MURDOCH shampooE
He is not contrite

It was disbelief that you could think that 'pristine white' wasn't an appropriate phase. White is associated with light, goodness, innocence, purity, and virginity. It is considered to be the color of perfection. White means safety, purity, and cleanliness. As opposed to black, white usually has a positive connotation.
As to the texts, my bad, he did it more than once. Hell mend him.

Yeah, I think the point was that a "white = good" reference such as "pristine white" might not be ideal when discussing a racist white guy.

Whats the differnce between white and pristine white? Are people offended that I used that term to suggest that someone was holier than thou?

I wasn't just explaining why "pristine white" might not have been entirely appropriate. Maybe just something lost in translation. Its all about context idlywild. All I was suggesting was the butters, hadn't done anything that could be frowned upon by anyone else and had the right to call for a mans career, however, in my defence I assumed it was one text as that was all I recalled. I admitted I was wrong when it was shown to be many.
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone - regardless of being religious or not its a good thought to live by.

You are, of course, correct in that we have all made (significant or less so) errors in our lives that we are, or should be, ashamed of. The difference with Mackay is that he did this, as you had not previously known, repeatedly, in a manner which suggests a deep-seated trait, whilst working in an official capacity.
My view is simply this- appointing a man who has a history of making sexist, racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic comments on his WORK phone, is dangerous.
That he has no obvious skills for the job is also somewhat concerning.
EDIT- unless the point has not been made. If Mackay is appointed it will be a disgrace.

EDIT There are too many things I could, indeed, should say, that I will simply say this.
The proposal that 'white' equiparates with 'good' or 'virginal' or any of the other suggested equivalences betrays a lack of understanding of the endemic nature of casual and institutional racism.
That similar shampoo is heard on a building site or some other effing workplace is of no relevance. That other racists act like racists does not excuse racism. Or homophobia, or sexism, or anti-Catholic bigotry.
