well holly, you are quite right, apparently it is now racist http://www.metro.co.u...-now-a-race-hate-word

(plus what factor said, please just reply to this in this thread, please don't start a new thread again!)

presume you cant say diddiki either then ? I have used these words all my life, not in anger and not to insult simply because it described the person/situation.

I don't think that's used often enough to make it a useful insult (diddiki, I mean). But you might like to ask oneof them how they feel about teh word being used to descibe them. After all "dark!e" describes a person but it's still offensive.
