If Abbott believes it was meant to be offensive towards her then she is right to be offended. But if she doesn't think rudd is a racist and it was an innocent comment. Then she has no reason to be offended. And no reason to tweet about it. Thus stirling the pot even more.

The ridiculous thing about this, is that Rudd was speaking in defence of Abbott at the time. That point seems to have been lost, especially by Abbott herself.
-
I think that's the real problem imo she's choosen to be offended to score political points. Taking in to account the subject she was discussing could anyone without an agenda say it was anything but a genuine mistake.

There seems to be confusion on what is acceptable or not. I saw tweets from black people yesterday who thought it was wrong. Others who said it was a simple mistake & another who said he called himself coloured. If there's not a general consensus, people are going to get it wrong
-
Taking all of that in to account, the only sensible option is to decide for yourself if the comment/word was said to be offensive . You can then decide if you want to be offended

There seems to be an inability amongst people to take a sane, independent, common sense view like
@JuliaHB1 They have to be tribal, so say anything against their tribe and you must be in the other tribe. No middle ground. No sanity. No intelligence.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Ok Julia - will you join me in condemning the wrong headedness that claims that Amber Rudd was being rascist and that Jeremy Corbyn is anti-Semitic? Frankly, the world has gone mad. All this smoke is not helping the causes of anti-racism and the fight against anti-Semitism.
