I always has the impression Cowan is one of these guys who grown up in a era when taking the piss out of minorities was socially acceptable
Now things have changed and he gets his back up when people are calling out these attitudes now, and someone he’s the type who are suddenly being discriminated against
How often do you hear him say the phrase “you’d be in jail for saying that today”
Times have changed, he hasn’t really moved on with them.
