You’ll get arrested even if you’re white:

He said: ‘I was outside the Oracle Shopping Centre and as a joke started pushing and rattling one of the bicycles that was locked up outside, as I’d had a few drinks.
‘The security guards told me to move on and that’s when I made the comment – I didn’t think about it, I just said it as a joke.
‘It was in jest, but they took it very seriously. They restrained me and called the police.’
[…]
He said last night: ‘I admit I was being a bit cheeky, but I never meant to be offensive or racist at all.
‘Honky is a word that a lot of my black friends use to describe a white person, so I suppose that’s why I was charged with racial abuse. But it’s ridiculous that I was taken to court over it.

What’s amazing to me is that the guy is joking and they still arrested him. Their criminal justice system is out of control. Thank the Lord we live in a country where you have to beat someone up (or commit some other form of assault) to be arrested for calling someone honky.
