Re: Racism (again)

It's been said that it isn't racist if you are not intending to insult or to offend or judge someone as inferior due to their racial origins and yet we are not permitted to use a four letter word beginning with p and ending in i because in itself it is deemed to be offensive.

Remember when someone with not an ounce of malice posted that they saw no problem with p**i kids having thngs explained to them at school in their own language if they were unable to understand the instructions in English? People threw up their arms in horror that the "p" word had been used and yet it wasn't intended to offend. Quite the opposite in fact as there had been other posters complaining that "they should speak English if they're in England". They were far more offensive posts than the one which drew attention.
