Only she will ever know what her motives were. I wouldn't be surprised either way
I think there are plenty of worse remarks that could be made if she intended to be racist.
If it wasn't for the Andrew Symonds thing I wouldn't have known it was a racist remark.

I'm reading over and over that anyone who boos Goodes is a racist. Yet we are entitled to our opinions?
I'm saying there are definitely people who boo for their own reasons yet those opinions are clearly not being considered.
So which one is it?

You are entitled to an opinion, nobody said anything about the validity of said opinion.

It's like West Indians eating KFC at the cricket again.
African Americans found the campaign to be racist, until they realised the context, but it was the first I or just about anyone I know ever heard of that negative connotation of black people and chicken. That does not make me racist, and the majority of black people in America, with the correct education, would have realised the same.
Just to provide a clear example.
