Sideshow kinda depends really, you'd have to ask. when I was growing up with Jamaicans kids they used black, coloured, half caste etc like it was nothing and so I learnt to use the same words and no one would bat an eyelid. years later, I discovered people I didn't know that well might take offence, especially younger ones, who perhaps have been influenced by American culture and this PC, so called SWJ culture that seems to tell people what to be offended by haig the time. Personally I think it's all about context and intent. Some people are looking to be offended perhaps. She was saying it about her own kids, was she being racist against them? Were they offended? What Americans forget is that not only did Britain abolish slavery long before the US, runaway black slaves had far more support amongst the white working class over here than they might have done in the states. Not to say racism didn't or doesn't exist but it was never as extreme or society as polarised and segregated like in America. The first black person to cast a vote in the UK was probably Cesar Picton in the 1790s, with voting rights increased in the 1830s and universal male suffrage being granted in 1867. By the 1890s London had two Indian elected members of parliament.
