    It's all about context, Dopey.

    The fact that they are German should be irrelevant, you used "German" to hammer home your prejudice.

    Shameful, truth be told.

    Indeed Dan, but only if it was used in a perjorative sense. I have nothing against the Jerries, I lived there for 6 years. <laugh>

    Two different families, not a race. Their nationality is neither here nor there except in this case where the word 'German' is used as a descriptive noun.

    <ok>

    So if I said a family of Leeches then people would have understood? I don't think so, I know that when dealing with certain people you have to spell it out, hence "German".

    Now stop digging.

    Black isn't a nationality nor is your example anything to do with what Dev said.

    So you had to mention their ethnicity otherwise people wouldn't have understood that you want to rid the country of the Royals.

    I wanted rid of one of my neighbours and the only way I can describe them so that people will know who I'm talking about is by calling them black bastards?

    Shame on you, Dopey.

    Try telling the Irish that calling someone a German so and so is xenophobic rather than racist?

    Why is this relevant?

    Do you have an alert that "bings" whenever some types the word Irish?
