    I'd agree with that post...I'm just puzzled as to how that anecdote would ever come up in normal conversation :confused:

    Me too,maybe they were having the cocktail?

    You're joking right? Being racist and calling someone a cúnt are miles apart.

    Why exactly?

    The UN's definition of racial discrimination is:
    the term "racial discrimination" shall mean any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin which has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life.[7]

    From my reading Kenny recalled an time when somebody else called somebody else a name that has racist connotations.

    Simply saying the word ****** doesn't make somebody a racist although it is understandably an offensive term to certain races.

    If somebody called me a **** I'd be equally offended as being called a name with associated with being derogatory to my race...
