im not missing the point. she could be god for all i care... whoever uttered the phrase is something different than the type of phrase uttered and has nothing to do with each other.
ofcourse this makes her behaviour hypocrite, or dubious to say the least but it doesnt make the comment discriminating.
the question that needs to be answered is: did she call him a rodent because he is ginger (discriminating because it insinuates that when someone is a ginger, he is a rodent) or did she call him a "ginger rodent" because she thinks he is a rodent who just happens to be a ginger one (insulting, possibly rascist, but not discriminating)
i understand though that as a former minister of equalities such a remark which will put u in this spot isnt a very smart one to make, you have to be wilders to make such remarks and get away with it.
