I agree that "racist" is overused, and it trivializes some important incidents. Anyway, if John Mayer were a hardcore racist, his career would be over.

Many rock stars are cheaters, I believe. Adultery means cheating when married. I perceive that the more ballad-oriented musicians are less likely to be cheaters. I don't expect much of the metal guys. Maybe that Neal Schon likely hasn't contributed much lyrically to Journey's (or his other bands') love songs is a reason why I mainly shrug at his dirty personal behavior.
