Can anyone explain why, on this sometimes idiotically politically correct site, it is acceptable to use offensive racial terms as above? There would be an uproar if anyone made the above post about pakis and wogs, wouldn't there????? Or are some racial insults more politically correct than others?
Sorry, but I can't see how you think that the Germans and French are a different race - they are nationalities. They are all White Caucasian (largely), and the terms are used a general term of banter, just as we are Poms to the Aussies. If one takes offence at being who they are (i.e. eating frogs' legs), then it can only be political correctness gone mad.
"Wog", "Nigger", "Yid" and other similar racial and religious descriptions are however offensive, and designed to show someone of a particular race in a demeaning manner.
Not to mention that Pakistanis call themselves Pakis - it is rather Bangladeshis and Indians who are hugely offended to be confused with a nation with whom they both had bitter partition struggles.
