there is a speech code about the term Brit in Ireland, that's not even up for debate.

morality is not a level playing field. For example the Sikhs who use the p word have been arguably equally oppressed by the significant Republic of India Punjab Hindu population post partition that they were propelled towards, you are looking for moral equivalents that don't exist in real life.

It's not necessarily about power, ironically it is often about passive aggressive demonstrations of power from those perceived or self identified to be less powerful. I know plenty of Sikh punjabis from what is now Pakistan who relocated after partition who use the term pejoratively, even...

John Barnes got a lot of shit. It was disgraceful some of the stuff he was on the end of. Even after his goal against Brazil there is footage of the travelling support refusing to acknowledge it. Ironically if he had been London born I am fairly sure he wouldn't have got most of the crap he...

Shifts in societal attitudes are often deemed as progress as viewed from one generations viewpoint, whereas in reality they are often faddish and yield no real benefit. There are countless examples of societies in history being more liberal or open minded than ours, only for us seemingly to...
