If you read my post you'll see that I would never use any of these terms directly. I think you've decided to make an issue of this when one doesn't exist. You obviously have some kind of hang up or issue which you feel i'm perpetuating through my use of 'innapropriate terminolgy'. I'm not prepared to continue this pointless argument so feel free to get the last word word in.
Before you do, consider this. If I were a true bigot and a racist, would I not be holed up in some green place that was forever England? Would I have really given up a well paid left seat career to join an Arabic airline? To live in the Middle East? To work and socialise alongside over 120 nationalities? To send my kids to a school in Dubai when they could board in the UK? Would I allow my children to have their African, Indian, Singaporean friends over for sleepovers? Would we have dinner parties with their parents? Would I use those terms to their faces? The answer is no to everything. Don't paint me to be something i'm not.
If I have offended anyone by my slang, than I apologise. For the majority who are less sensitive, can we please get back to the subject.
