    See, that banter between Raf and Khurran is entertaining - where one person can rip the shit out of the other : as long as its seen by both parties as being funny.

    It's only when an outside person see's it and don't know the 'banter' relationship that it can be seen as someone being racist.

    I have an unkle that married into our family, he's from Lebanon, he's stayed in Scotland for most of his adult life.
    I have another unkle who used to be a professional footballer and his sense of humour IS that of a footballer - it's "pub banter".
    At family gatherings, those two rip into each other with banter, everyone in the family knows it's just a laugh but any outsiders would see it as being racist.

    I reckon it shows a stronger relationship between races/religions/classes if they can have banter and rip into each other like that rather than having to tiptoe around each other.
