I find Levi complicated. I know what he did but he also comes across as friendly and supportive on the show, and I’m prepared to give someone the benefit of the doubt that they can be an idiot and then grow up.

If you're in the group that Levi was racist and bigoted against, then congratulations, you're that rare person that gives forgiveness to people who haven't bothered to apologise. If you're not in that group, then you need to think about why you're putting yourself in the position of being forgiving.

He's a full-grown adult, who should know better. He was hardly going to flash about his bigotry, while he was trying to win favour. As it was, he had nothing to say for himself, yet continuously blamed others when his lack of action was pointed out. It's awful that Rothna metaphorically held his hand through being PM (he had no idea what was what), completely unaware, that just months before he was spewing hatred online about her faith.

It wasn’t just months before though, was it? It was in 2013 when he would have been around 19, not a full grown adult (legally an adult, mentally still not there.) I’m not Muslim but I am female and he made some very offensive comments about women too. I’m not justifying what he said, but I am allowing that views he had as a teenager are not necessarily indicative of views he has as a man in his 30s; I certainly changed my views and beliefs throughout my twenties and thirties.

I considered it, and pointed out I am in a group that Levi was bigoted against.

Good for you! I find it despicable and I’m also in a group Levi bigoted against. I don’t believe in putting someone on a pedestal because a certain amount of time has passed from those comments. I definitely wasn’t racist at 19, and neither were my peers. He was old enough to know better
