I remember when corner shops were taken over by Asian owners. They were open 24/7 and every day of the year. Very handy and were known as "*** shops"
Chip shops also, lots taken over by Chinese, open Sundays, brilliant. We would say "Do you fancy a ch1nkie for tea"
It was not disrepectful just a way of describing the shops, then.

Our corner shop (Spar) was taken over by Asians many years back. The local yobs kept writing this slogan on one of their vehicles; "**** off P***** back to where you belong". The teenage son would clean the message off, only to see it return post haste. So he attached a note to the windscreen of the vehicle which read something like, "We're not P****, we're Indians, you morons."
Joanna Lumley was taught desert island skills around twenty years ago and used Mick - The Micks taught me to do this ....
and was quick to point out 1990
that those enlisted in the Irish regiments referred to themselves as Micks -to head off the PC brigade even then
( rather than tommies or baldric - - very falklands )

band of blood Netflix is a good view
BUT - be advised
it is about Indian agents infiltrating Pakistan to rescue their agent from the Taliban
and there is an awful lot of references to the different cultures - the indians are in bright colours and the islamics swathed in black
a constant theme surprisingly to us is that the Pakistani infrastructure in heavily infiltrated by Taliban traitors and this paralyses any lawful response by the authorities ( not Indian that is!)
and cultural misportrayals - Hindus beheaded in a mosque - o naughty naughty they would do it outside.....
sexy dancing, but it is in a taliban stronghold so it is the ..... boys doing the dancing. - better than reading AB I can tell you
