R is for Racism

I approach this issue with caution because I am English, and in England, to use the word 'racism' is probably racist by now. They say 'political correctness has gone mad'. Indeed it has, but that has meant that i have grown up cushioned from nasty people saying nasty things, and I am generally very rarely exposed to the atrocities of racism... which in some part may also be due to the fact that I'm white.

So, imagine my shock when perusing the aisles of the local supermarket innocently for some cheese when I came across this...




... and in an apparently highly developed society too. I am not quite sure how this has slipped through the net. But then it didn't take me long to realise that there's much more to it than just the cheese.'Wog' and 'Fob' are two more vernacular joys you hear on a regular basis. Idiots.
