Today there have been questions on Jade Goody and may comments about the fact that she made a racist comment and therefore deserves little sympathy for her cancer.

Also today there have been a lot of comments about Carol Thatcher describing a tennis player as looking like a Golliwog and the same people are defending her and saying she shouldn't have been sacked.

This is not a comment about the right and wrongs but can people explain why the double standards.

Why where Jades comments so bad that she needs to be punished several years later and Carols so inoffensive that she should be reinstated on the one show immediately?

Is it just me that thinks many people have double standards?
 
I can't believe Carol Thatcher has gotten to the age she is without ever learning such a basic fact that the term is racist!
Amazing ~ and proof that some people, live in their own little protected bubbles, not actually the real world.
 
The 2 statements were not similar. Jades was nasty/vindictive and racist..Carols was a minor (not even racist in my book) remark.
 
I think Carol Thatcher was worse. She is a well educated and travelled woman, she did it simply because she is racist.

A lot of Jade's comments were out of ignorance, and when you saw the way her mother acted it was generally realised where she had learned this.

Neither of them deserve cancer though, I would never wish it on anyone
