What Hopkins said was no different to Minter, Grieg and many other white sportsmen and he should be treated the same. And that is not preciousness - far from it, its actually the only appropriate response - because if you are to confront such issues, you have to be consistent about confronting them every time they occur.

I did not say it was right. But in this context it is ok!
