Dear Pat,

The above statement made by a law lecturer at the University of Sheffield
created quite a stir and the professor was censured. It was never my
intention to upset you merely stating things as they are. Even Indians take
great offence if called a Paki here in the U.K.

I have seen movies depicting Negros, calling one another - you Nigger -
certainly they mean it in a derogatory way and meant to be so. It is one
thing Negros calling one another Nigger, quite another when a non negro uses
the term. Similarly Chinese people would take offence to being called Chinky
or slant.

Salaam.

Gabe Menezes.
