I thought he origin was the Latin for black. Given the history of the word I can't see how it could ever stop being considered offensive.
I'm not sure what to make of this last thing with Clarkson. He clearly didn't seem comfortable using the word and I wonder if it wasn't his idea. The slope comment went straight over my head and had there not being a history of such things I would have accepted that they didn't know that it would cause offence.
I personally believe that political correctness has gone way too far - in fact so far that it has made me a fan of anti-political correctness. The areas of life impacted by this pointless drivel are astounding and I for one am happy to rebel against it.
As for Clarkson, let's face it, he makes his living from this type of reputation and recent events will do him no harm whatsoever. I don't agree with all of his opinions but I applaud the irreverent manner in which he expresses them and find much of it hilarious.

Have you ever considered politics MEM62? That's a great example of a paragraph that seems to say something, but actually says absolutely nothing at all.
Always been a big fan of clarkson, always makes me laugh.Close to the mark sometimes ,but if you dont like it dont watch him,simple.
What can you say nowadays without offending some culture or colour.
But it's OK for Lenny Henry's band to be called 'Poor White Trash and the Little Big Horns' ?
Imagine if it was called 'Poor Nigger and the Little Big Horns'
I'm human race ist.........everyone is foccin cnuts!!!

Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike

His idea of humour was marrying a fat funny bird, he was never any good at it himself.

This is where the argument goes full circle again.
Being a slender 16 stone myself, is it okay for me to joke about it but not skinny people?
Probably not, but I do have a sense of humour, unlike the PC brigade who want to turn people into robots!

Hoho, you are so funny you stupid fat foccer.
Interesting the whole racism bit - apparently its ok to denigrate the white indigenous working class by referring to them as 'chavs' and some articles about so called feckless white chavs i've seen in the press would have caused a storm if the word 'Chav' had been replaced by 'paki' which I wouldn't condone either - but it's time for a more equal playing field, how much do we hear about the 1m plus white slaves carried off from Europe to Africa by berber pirates in 17 & 18 century - nix! but endless stories of black people being sold into slavery by their own people and transported to the USA where they were incredibly badly abused are repeated endlessly.
Do I think people should be judged by their skin colour NO but that includes all of us and white farmers who are being forced off their land because they are white deserve as much support as black christian Sudanese who are being attacked by their Moslem arab neighbours. Just a thought that anti racism needs to apply evenly .......
This is as young as you're ever going to be!

You on the other hand are obviously just a complete prick who sees how far he can go to wind people up and take things to the limits.
There's a difference in being humorous and having a laugh.......or being you!
