only just clicked with me how racially offensive this is (duh!). how is it acceptable?

It isn't, if it offends you, if not then it is. I'm not trying to be flippant here - the offence caused by language is a very individual matter. Personally I am unoffended by any language, only the context and surroudnings in which it is used. I have educated my children that 'strong language' is meanignless as a label. Language has an appropriate time and place for its use, the trick is knowing what to say where, and to whom.

i totally agree with you, language doesn't offend me either. it was more to do with people in general and how PC a lot of people try so hard to be etc. that make sense?
