Well, that's what bothered me so much about this. I can't for the life of me understand why people are calling him racist when he said nothing against other races in the first place.
I suppose I should just get over this but I just find it really disturbing. I think I'm more upset over this than he is! Maybe if he hadn't mentioned the US by name and just said that where he comes from blackface is considered in poor taste, no one would have made a big deal about it. Sorry if I'm

The worst was that I posted a comment on Harry's Facebook page in support of him and I got all these horrible responses from people-lots from Australia-attacking ME!!!
