Just as racists and bigots can be racist and bigoted without using racist and bigoted words, people who are not racists or bigots can use racist and bigoted words without such use causing them to become racists or bigots. They are just words, but, of course, they are words that make useful weapons as well...
I do not use such words, partly because I do not wish to be confused with idiots, but also because their use demonstrates a pitiful lack of creativity. But I absolutely reject the notion that anyone should be prohibited from using such words, or punished for doing so, and indeed consider such censorship deeply obscene.
(Ni hao, bitches! )
I don't see any problem with the British's misunderstandings. Asians even find it "offensive" when a white guy can hold the chopsticks (personal experience). For their ignorance, you just need to clarify the issues.
Please name one ethnic group that is more subjected to ignorance, stupidity, and racism by the English (AKA British)
"I can only think of one. That would be the Britons, which are now known world wide by the derogatory term "Welsh". In ancient Anglo Saxon, Welch means foreigners, people who don't belong in Britain??, quite simply nigauds, or niggers....
Romans, English, Nazis, fascists, US government, Central bankers ....... all racists, supremacists, elitists that built their empires on the blood of peaceful peoples."
Deary me you do seem to have a chip on your shoulder about English people, sounds like your suffering from anglophobia which a number of american generals and admirals suffered even during WW2.Or are you in some kind of denial or are just suffering from a poor education when you where a boy?
Have you ever heard of following Colonial territories that where held by France and the Netherlands to name but 2 of the many others.
The Dutch east indies

French Indochina

England certainly had no monopoly on empires as ALL the western European countries as well as the united states, Russia Japan,Turkey who held Colonial territories doted across the world at one point or another.
Maybe you should buy some European history books instead of reading american ones that have vast holes in them that miss out things like the Philippine–American War With up to a estimated 34,000 to 220,000 Philippine casualties which ended with the occupation of the Philippines up until 1945.
