Pub not far from me is called "The Labour in Vain" and has a picture on the eched glass windows of two men trying to clean a coloured bloke (hence Labour in vain)

It's been called this for as long as I've lived and a few weeks back it was in the paper as being a racist pub and the name should be changed - and now the windows keep getting bricked

now we have the classic novel... ten little indians by agatha christie ... oops should be ten little Ni**ers..

who remebers the books about little black sambo??

re the comment queers now becoming gays.. we had a local ferryboat called the gay enterprise... it was renamed the solent enterprise after people got pc and thought it sounded bad!!!

makes a complete mockery of nicknames...

if you come from birmingham you cant be a brummie

why?? cos if you come from pakistan you can guess


remember homo?? the only thing that gets used for these days is with the phobic bit added..

another one that gets my back up...........chairperson or chair//

you tell me how the **** can a chair take a meeting???

its a chairman pure and simple no connotation of superiority..

or do we adopt the yank version CEO??


laugh....... it makes you wanna cry

'Mong' was the prefered Moniker of the school yard dullard. Mongle was changed to Downs Syndrome. Now all the kids call each other 'Downsy'.

Conversely, there are words which are acceptable now but you couldn't use at school 15 years-ago. 'Crap' and ‘Bugger Lugs’ for instance.....

Is racism just a pigment of the imagination?
