there became into the African-American city Councilman in Florida that have been given offended while a white Councilman talked approximately costs going right into a black hollow. I even have are available the process that in the time of criminal regulation class the place, conversing approximately playing, and employing the 1919 White Sox, who threw the international sequence maximum efficient them to be talked approximately as the Black Sox, an African American student became into offended by using that. I remember being in England. My first night there, somebody iin a pub exceeded me a %. of cigarettes and asked "Fancy a f-a-g?" (hyphenated by way of fact it is going to in all probability be deleted). I have been given po'd yet that found out meaning cigarette there. besides the undeniable fact that, the main ridiculous case got here while a Public real talked related to the finances for the municipality he became into representing as niggardly. Niggardly is a Scandanavian word for "less costly, thrifty". it is not in any way, shape or form relating to the different word. the guy very almost misplaced his interest by way of fact he became into greater articulate than the folk complaining. And, it even have been given blocked out in this. The word is N-i-g-g-a-r-d-l-y. no longer the different word.

To reply to Old Know All ......... Im an Australian, and I can tell you that its just another case of Beurocracy gone mad. It has nothing to do with being taken out of context or being an Australian issue. Its just an idiot in power who thought he would be clever and it could have been in any country in the world.
Don't worry, the issue will blow over.

No doubt they will want to change the colour of Santa's White Hair and Beard for a multicoloured type as well! possibly change his hat for a turban? Mother Christmas with a jibab? His black boots for sandals?
The mind boggles! where will it all end? or perhaps we should end Christmas altogether!

Absolutely!
What a ridiculous notion that somehow Santa will offend by using his traditional "ho ho ho". Honestly would anyone be offended except the political correct ?

One has to ask the question who thinks of these rules? It beggars belief (that probably PC is incorrect) Although I'm glad to see it is not just a UK thing
