Oh I see - you thought it he meant it as an insult to the deceased? No I don't think so - he said he was personally devastated by their deaths so that's been taken out of context, twisted and distorted to make him look like a bad person.
I don't know what you are talking about but you are still making me laugh.

Well, that would not seem like bigotry. That would usually imply being bigoted or prejudiced against a certain race, ethnicity or nationality. For example, I would think that someone could certainly dislike BP the corporation because of the Gulf disaster or even dislike Tony Hayward without being bigoted against any given race, ethnic group or nationality.

There must be a reason why you don't use the term 'British Petroleum' and a reason why others do - but we're still waiting for an explanation and 'convenience' doesn't do it.

I wouldn't think nationality is an "entrenched position" to be honest - more like an accident of birth... which is why I don't make any points about it.
