Chas,
problem is that in Spanish or Portuguese that is a perfectly acceptable word.. Guess though that he (elmat) could be more sensitive when posting in English.. I have commented on that before.. the racist aspect of that word could also be construed as US centric politically correct thought.. less of that needed going forward..

JMHO..
being a mongrel and going to a Chinese mission school when young (4 years).. I can tell you I know racism first hand, not as an experience I have read or heard about.. but in my face first hand.. (from both whites and Chinese)... what racism does and is... and I know my experience is far from the worst..

Looking at the total of Elmat's posts I doubt he is any more racist than I, Mq, TJ or CB.. (yes a list of my favourite contributors to the thread so far, which in itself may be odd :o)

TBS

EDIT: Do not think elmat is predisposed to 'tricky talk'..
