Because people are stupid, or at least some are. However, I would say the majority of people and press deemed the incident not racist and channel 4 were accused of being over sensitive. Let's remember it happened following the Jade Goody incident on C4 went OTT to avoid a repeat of that incident.

If someone coloured come up to me and said im a f word ing ginger haired B word and I said P word off N word and a copper heard it and decided to arrest us both he would perhaps get done for disturbing the peace or affray and they would cook up some racial hatred charge against me

Well, that's a unlikely set of events to happen isn't it? A black person decides to randomly starting hurling abuse at you, in front of a cop, and you insult them back.
If the cop heard the whole thing then I think it's likely you would not be charged as it was incited. You could however get a idiotic cop or department and find that happen. Sometimes life screws you over like that, but it's hardly an example of a big problem is it?
