So when during my youth when we had to have small vaccine injections against small pox the fact that it was called Paki Pox by some was not a derogatory term and racially offensive.
What a world some of you must have lived in or still live in.

Well I never heard anything like that where I grew up. It must have been a right dump where kids were dragged up.

No it was in Middx, part of the " real UK " with a very mixed population with some unfortunately with the views that are still to be found , sadly on this forum.
I hope that you do not have any coloured footballers living in your part of " cheshire " that would really bring the area down and alter the racial percentages.

London had a Saturday night "sport" of "paki bashing" among certain thugs in the sixties and seventies.

Don't know how old you are but it was a bit unmissable.

I do not live in wag land and why is it racist to not like the idea of non white British girls being mutilated and having forced marriages and such. Infact I would say you are the racist who does not think that these girls deserve equal rights with white British people. You believe they should suffer because they are not white. If white people were hacking their kiddies fingers off with blunt instruments the parents would be jailed.
, so why are non white children allowed to suffer and why are there apologists, like you who seem to condone it?

Did I say they did There is a lot of word twisting on this thread. FYI and at the risk of sounding patronising like our resident RE specialist LIW, we have a very nice Indian family running our village shop and post office. 2 daughters and the Son helps out in Uni breaks. The village has taken them in their heart and because the shop is well run it is thriving. Oh and I don't call my Indian friend Indian or Asian, she is known as Baljinder.

Isn't this the bit where people chime in and say "two wrongs don't make a right"?

If we believed you you know everywhere well, still there is always one one a forum...not saying what the one is

Hardly ,and unlike some i do not have the mindset of a 1950, suburban house wife.
I had my small pox jab in the 70,s.
We went on holiday to Jugoslavia that year and you could tell who were the Brits by the plasters on their arms.

Here it is the definitive PC speak as put out by a University. Use it as a fly spray to keep LIW away

An interesting thought. I wonder if a whole range of sprays could be developed.

Since when did meeting a basic level of common courtesy and consideration come to be PC?

Just wondering.

Why would anyone condone the genital mutilation of girls by some African nationals?
I have explained in a previous post that forced marriage is illegal in India and would be denounced by the majority.
People have been jailed there if caught trafficking or procuring any girls for such a marriage.

What has this got to do with not being able to distinguish one brown face from another and the negative concept that 'they are all the same'?
