Well, it's very easy for you to prove me wrong. Just find one valid quote on any reputable web site from any person saying that only white people can be racist.
I won't be holding my breath. This idea is one of the great myths of modern times - I've heard it since the 1970s and still never found a single example of someone who believes it.
Gullible, aren't you?

Re: BBFC and PC?
Personally I've never been bothered by the word "darkie" I find it funny whilst I can detect a not =wanting- to- seem- racist- but- its- clearly- different- these- chaps- are- a - different- hue - of - colour- to my- good-self tone about it.
I aint even bothered by the word nigger, nigga or nigguh or any of its derivatives just if I catch you saying it in the wrong tone and a sneerful look in your eye then its on....
Otherwise, everyone lighten up (lol) get it lighten up?

Re: BBFC and PC - Calling Dibble?
Was that aimed at me?
I don't find Honky offensive at all, and if I was coloured I wouldn't find nig-nog offensive. Just as I wouldn't be too fussed if people called me speccy or ginner if I was either of those things.
It's all a load of bollocks.
Name-calling is offensive when it is said in spite. When said in jest it's either funny or not funny.
The "Racial Groups" you speak of have, in the main, been conditioned to take offence as any supposed slur and in time this has been backed up by leglislation etc.
There's a world of difference between racism and silly names, but naturally this is un-pc and therefore undiscussable.

They're locking them up today, they're throwing away the key...I wonder who it be tomorrow, you or me?

Re: BBFC and PC?
OK, I'm lightening up - although compared to you T I'm pretty light already. !happy! !grin!
There's one type of person I can't stand and that's racists. Especially racists who accuse people of being "PC" (whatever the fuck that means) because they're not allowed to talk like Alf Garnett any more.

Re: BBFC and PC - Calling Dibble?
Forget "PC" (which is all made-up bollocks anyway) and let's stick to simple facts.
The reason that some black people might find "nig nog" offensive is that when it was in common use, it was often delivered in a context like "Right nig nog, you're nicked", followed by a swift truncheon to the face. Or maybe a bunch of skinheads chanting "kill the nig nog". Given that you've never experienced this, it's not for you to decide whether it's offensive or not.
Whereas no white person (in this country) has ever been called "honky" in anger. It's just a word from 1970s blaxploitation movies. We honkies represent 91% of the British population (although thankfully that's shrinking fast). It's different being in a majority to being in a minority,

I've read some of your posts, and "opinionated" doesn't begin to cover it.
I could go on but I'd prefer it not to degenerate into a slanging match.

Re: BBFC and PC?
Yes i remember back in the 1970s the sitcom Love Thy Neighbour when the words darky and honky were exchanged all the time it was commonplace and nobody thought any thing about it, remember Charlie Williams on the comedians back in the 70s he use to take the rise out of himself and everyone loved it and he was one of the best comedians to appear on that show, i worked on some large construction sites back in the 60s&70s and honky, darky, paddy, jock, taffy and lots more names were brandished about all the time and probably still are, but i agree with OEJ its the tone with which it is said that matters, alough myself i prefer to address people by their first name, its the safest bet!love!

By the same token, I probably wouldn't find any "quotes" on "any reputable web site" (whatever that means) saying that non-whites can be equally racist either.
It's a lot more subtle and subliminal than that.
But I will give you an example:
Right now in Zimbabwe, the white minority have been on the receiving end of racist persecution by the Mugabe regime for several years - and nobody gives a flying fuck.
Sure, there was a bit of token hand-wringing in government circles when it all kicked off, and for a time there was talk of cancelling cricket tours, not granting visas to visiting Zimbabwe officials (which I believe then ended up being granted anyway) and other minor gestures. But pretty soon it was all swept under the carpet and it isn't even considered newsworthy any more.
But it's still going on.
Contrast that, if you will, with all the worldwide hullaballoo over the Apartheid regime in South Africa: That country was a pariah state with pretty much everyone for decades, it was never far from the headlines, there were boycotts of all things South African (and woe betide anyone who defied them), ANC and other anti-Apartheid campaigners were welcomed with open arms and big parades wherever they went, there were constant anti-Apartheid rallies in Trafalgar Square and practically every Student Union across the UK had its very own Nelson Mandela Bar.
Yes, it was an odious regime. But it's also worth noting that at the same time as Apartheid was in force in South Africa, many of the black dictatorships in the rest of sub-Saharan Africa were also practicing their very own forms of Apartheid (sometimes with a nice bit of mass murder thrown in) against sections of their own populations, except in these cases it was on racial, religious, tribal or ethnic grounds - and once again, no-one gave a fuck.
It was (and still is) as if there's some kind of unwritten rule that black-on-black, black-on-brown or black-on-white racism and discrimination is somehow less "evil" and more "acceptable" than the white-on-black variety.
Sorry SBB but I have to disagree with you fundamentally on this issue. And even accepting that the likes of the Daily Mail do overstate the point a bit sometimes, your assertion that there's no such thing as Political Correctness also beggars belief (it's a bit like claiming that the Earth is flat).
