So do many things now unacceptable in Britain. When Lewis Hamilton took to the track in Spain a few years ago some Spanish fans dressed in ape masks and wore t-shirts with 'Hamilton's Family' written on them. Perfectly OK in Spain but that'll win you a trip to court in London before you can make a monkey chant.

Yeah, I suppose you're right but I was talking principally about language and the context in which it's used.

And remember that Britain/England has got a pretty dark history when it comes to race relations. Ask Cyrille Regis about the bullets he used to receive in the post. I think we forget what a nasty place English footie was in the early 80s.

But anyway, I was talking principally about language and in a multicultural Latin American context (Columbia, Cuba, Ecuador...) it just doesn't sound like any big deal. Suarez pisses me off more with his whining and diving.
