One tries to be understanding, but sometimes it falls on deaf ears it would seem, but I thought that I had addressed your concerns when I put "no one has the right to be so racially abusive. (that should have been racially abused by the way)
But now we are back to the 'P' word and to answer this question
/// was do you find it offensive ///
In relation to the 'P' word? in that case no, I do not find it in anyway offensive unless it is used in a bulling situation as happened to you.
/// and I'm a bit confused by "not everyone should be tarred with the same brush" who is everyone and what do they have to do with what some ignorant idiots did or said to me? ///
/// Who is everybody? ///
Answer in this context, those who don't take part in racial abuse.
/// What do they have to do with what some ignorant idiots did or said to me? ///
Answer, they have nothing to do with those ignorant idiots who did and said things to you,
That is why they can't be tarred with the same brush.
Hope this goes to explain things a little better because I cannot think of any different way, especially if you are not familiar with the tarred brush expression?
