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.
