Let me paste in a longer passage on Clapton's racism, because it's even worse than this article suggests:

On 5 August 1976, Clapton provoked an uproar and lingering controversy when he spoke out against increasing immigration during a concert in Birmingham.[189] Visibly intoxicated on stage, Clapton voiced his strong support for the controversial right-wing British politician Enoch Powell.[190][191][192] He addressed the audience as follows:
Do we have any foreigners in the audience tonight? If so, please put up your hands. So where are you? Well wherever you all are, I think you should all just leave. Not just leave the hall, leave our country. I don't want you here, in the room or in my country. Listen to me, man! I think we should vote for Enoch Powell. Enoch's our man. I think Enoch's right, I think we should send them all back. Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out. Get the w*gs out. Get the c**ns out. Keep Britain white.
I used to be into dope, now I'm into racism. It's much heavier, man. Fucking w*gs, man. Fucking Saudis taking over London. Bastard w*gs. Britain is becoming overcrowded and Enoch will stop it and send them all back. The black w*gs and c**ns and Arabs and fucking Jamaicans don't belong here, we don't want them here. This is England, this is a white country, we don't want any black w*gs and c**ns living here. We need to make clear to them they are not welcome. England is for white people, man. This is Great Britain, a white country, what is happening to us, for fuck's sake? Throw the w*gs out! Keep Britain white![193][194]
"Keep Britain White" was, at the time, a slogan of the far-right National Front (NF).[195] [196] This incident, along with some controversial remarks made around the same time by David Bowie,[197] as well as uses of Nazi-related imagery by punk artists Sid Vicious and Siouxsie Sioux, were the main catalysts for the creation of Rock Against Racism, with a concert on 30 April 1978.[198]
In an interview from October 1976 with Sounds magazine, Clapton said that he was not a political person and that his rambling remarks that night were not appropriate.[199] In a 2004 interview with Uncut, Clapton referred to Powell as "outrageously brave".[200] He complained that the UK was "inviting people in as cheap labour and then putting them in ghettos".[201] In 2004, Clapton told an interviewer for Scotland on Sunday, "There's no way I could be a racist. It would make no sense."[202] In his 2007 autobiography, Clapton claimed to be "oblivious to it all".[203] In a December 2007 interview with Melvyn Bragg on The South Bank Show, Clapton said he was not a racist but still believed Powell's comments were relevant.[197]
*************
Powell's comments were still relevant to Clapton in 2007... in other words, Clapton was still a worthless racist pig... I'll cheer when he drops dead.
