Alastair Stewart responded to a black man on Twitter with a passage about "an angry ape" from Shakespeare's Measure for Measure.

We're all apes - Shakespeare knew that two and a half centuries before Darwin suggested it, and three and a half before science could actually prove it. If that *is* the reason, I'd suggest that Alastair Stewart should consider an employment tribunal...

Who in their sane mind would automatically think Alistair was being racist. Whoever makes the link between apes and black people needs to have a good think about their racism.
