(why isn't there a smiley for an easter egg?)
We live in a world where too many people take things at face value, where people can no longer say things in a light hearted manner without being called racist. Racism to me is something said with intention, rather than just being a passing comment.

Exactly. It's like when I watch those old seventies comedy shows/films, where the Indian is always "Oh goodness gracious me!" and the Irish is always a navvy, Mr. Ching runs the takeaway etc. WTF was wrong with those figures if they were done in a gentle, even affectionate way? Nowadays you only have to mention a generic term and you're being racist. It reached critical mass one day when I read an article about a guy who was actually cited for "revving his car in a racist manner!" How the F U C K can you do that??? Chill pills all round people (and easter eggs --- mine's an After Eight or Milky Bar. Or anything with chocolate...)

One of my favourites, from "Mind your language" I think. Indian guy in class asked well, did you learn any English yesterday. "Yes sir," he responds. "Bloody foreigners!"

Fuck, just imagine if "Mind Your Language" was on TV today! With all these bloody foreigners trying to speak English, they'd take it off air for being racist.

Yeah. In a way, I'm surprised they get away with OFAH, considering how much "old style" racism/racial stereotypes there are in it. Can you say "Carry on movie"?
