Don't worry about editing chaps, I was only teasing
The trouble is, where do we draw the line on offending people? It's precisely the need to ensure that absolutely no-one can ever be offended by anything that is (IMHO) partially the cause of the current political backlash. Whatever happened to stick and stones?
Don't get me wrong, I do realise that aggressive negative words used in conjunction with certain behaviours is clearly going to upset people, and rightfully so. I also get that, as a privileged white man, I have very little experience of anything that could be remotely upsetting in a racial or divisive way. I get that spitting the N word in a black man's face is utterly disgusting, like I get that the Ch word said in the same way to an Asian is horrendous. At the same time, I struggle to see why cowboys and Indians is offensive now, or why white women rapping on X Factor is appropriating black culture, or why only true Rastas can have dreads.
