The racist reputation of the Daily Mail is fairly well established in the UK. In fact, contrary to the majority of the answers here, it’s generally considered unfit for the workplace for their racist and sexist contents.

@KonradRudolph that's completely untrue.

@KonradRudolph you are simply repeating the argumentum ad populum arguments of the OP. To which I repeat my advice: if the OP can find a racist article, they should file a complaint based on that. If all they have is "reputation", that's not enough.

@Acccumulation Read my heated comment discussions with Ben elsewhere and you should see that the opposite is actually the case: I’ve repeatedly said that popularity/mainstreamness is insufficient to determine acceptability in the workplace (and by inference the opposite is the case as well). At any rate, I actually thought yours is a good answer, and upvoted it.

There's nothing like finding actual evidence and being able to circle it in print to make your point. Alternatively, there's nothing like looking for actual evidence and turning up empty-handed to make you question your opinion. I think this is the best answer because it will allow the OP to step outside of presenting his opinion and feelings and present facts. Or, if as Ben is suggesting, there are no facts, it will help Bob calm down some, too.
