What word you got in mind?

Sadly due to the state of the country we live in, i would probably get ostricised for even typing the word. The silent minority are turning this country into a communist state.

Ni*ger,boo*er etc etc

 

[Gritt23]

I honestly believe it's all about the context with which you are using a word.

Have you just read various political cliches/concepts and attempted to put them into one sentence?

 

[SK1NT]

Not matter what context a word like ni**er , pa*i is racist...

A word like black for e.g that black bloke i dont see as racist

Really pisses me off when people say that 'Paki' is racist. It's just like calling us a Brit. It's quite pathetic.

Communist state? You mean socialist. Communism is a classless, stateless society based on egalitarianism...

It certainly means the person is expressing racist views.
I don't get the argument that not being able to use racist language means we live in a controlled/communist/nanny state.
When can racist language or views ever be acceptable? Simple answer never.

This doesn't mean however we have to agree with everyone or fear disliking someone of a different racial background. As long as the reasons are based on actions by the parties involved and not on differences beyond either's control (i.e. RACE)

Paki isn't in and of itself racist, however it's become racist because the context associated with its use has tended to be a racist one. For example people rarely shout "You f***ing Brit" at me on the street.

I would write to Cameron and tell him that. The answer to your original question is yes.

I haven't been abroad enough to tell, but if someone shouted it at me with venom then I'd probably take offence at it.
