You should not change historical fact. The Ruskies did it, and we despised them for re-writing their history. Now your generation want to do it also.
We called our French enemies 'Frogs' during the Napoleonic wars; we called the Germans 'Krauts' in WW2 and 'Huns' in WW1. Think we should change that?
Black people call each other 'nigger', for pity's sake. Why is everybody so bl**dy sensitive these days? My mates at school called me a "skinny streak of p*ss" because I was 6' 2" and very thin. I found it quite amusing, and insulted them back.
I'm all for respect, but this 'guilt over slavery' thing is way out of control. England destroyed slavery in the early 19th Century, and without the UK's efforts in WW2 our nemesis Adolf would have ended up ruling the world and killing every non-white on the planet.
Get off your pseudo-guilt-horse.
