When I was a nipper, I'd hear expressions like 'going for a Chinky' etc and what turned me against growing up speaking like that wasn't so much any fear it may sound racist so much as how *moronic* it sounds.
The use of certain words, social baggage aside, just demonstrate a common lack of 'personal decorum'. I like to think I have some of that about myself, and like most of us I couldn't be more removed from his class of peeps if I tried.
Ha! Shows what a fat lot of good Debretts et al. does:-)
