Not everything needs to lead to a racial incident, at least where well intentioned people are involved.
I agree. It's important to follow company policy. This is a bit special however, in my opinion, as we're talking about a known author brought onboard to consult on a tv-show, and the author's views are well known in advance.
He wasn't as far as I am aware press ganged so he choose to work at that place, he doesn't like their rules so he left. That seems a very sensible approach that is the same choice we all have to make everytime we take on a new job, even self employed like myself have to make that call.
