no one ever hears about any on the above list screaming racism or has people screaming to stop using those names on tehir behalf :rolleyes:

its not the word that is racist its how you use it infact i think the british public are world leaders at getting offended on other peoples behalf:rolleyes:

if i was racist i wouldnt use cb cabs, i wouldnt eat at the akash and i wouldnt buy my computer parts form the shops i do :rolleyes:

i will hold my hand up to predjudice but everone is guilty of that in some way or other , unless they are a saint that is

I'd go along with that Accyman..but hang on .. the Nazis used Jewish doctors and bought from Jewish shops.. and then murderd them years later.. most did not wish the dreadful things that were done but you can bet it all started with a few grumbles and a few small lines in newspapers.. maybe not forums but from acorns mighty oaks grow.
