Thank you gobsmacked for referring back to my original questions and making an imput. It can be fun going off at tangents.......as long as someone brings the original subject up now and again.
There are racist laws but surely that does not include black puddings and blackboards? There should be distinctions between outright racism and tongue-in-cheek comments that have always been used in the English (sorry) UK Language.

I will refer again also to my original comment re: nigger! Why is it ok for certain people to say it (and have it broadcasted on radio) but for others there will be a backlash if they mention that word in public? WHO IS MAKING THESE BOUNDARIES?
