    Yep...........and in my opinion this is one of the main reasons that Donald Trump is doing so well.

    Because basically he comes across as very anti Politic Correctness

    Been a movement in the US to change it it for some time so your comment is without context. Native Americans aren't too keen on it, the their opinion doesn't count for much, never has.

    Trump is racist and America is full of racists. No surprise there.

    What's more bizarre is an angry, little, insecure ex pat being sat in Dubai (a place I'm sure has no input on freedom of speech) caring about people not wanting to misuse racial slurs.

    If this were Jews being characterised by a slang team name little worms in the woodwork wouldn't be saying the same.

    Don't worry yourself about it out there. Nothing to do with you; you gave up on this terrible country, remember?

    I love Portugal. Like Spain, but with a bit of class. Had six great weeks in Lisbon a few years back.

    We looked at many countries, but with our experiences in Mozambique and Angola we fell in love with the Portuguese culture and way of life, then after visiting Portugal itself it was a done deal. Good weather all year round, Western Europe, good people, fantastic food and still cheaper to live than most other European countries. I'm flying there tomorrow to finalise the purchase of our new home, close to beach with good surfing, close to 3 golf courses, fado, 35 mins from Lisbon. A dream come true and finally I'm going to live it. The poor boy from Barnsley.

    Not exactly endearing yourself to anyone who felt your original post was irrelavent to this board and more than slightly supporting bigotry, with that embracing of colonialism.

    And for the record, I'm not at all impressed that you've got the income to buy a house in Portugal, as much as you'd like to push that fact in a gloating manner as though you think it makes you better than anyone who disagrees with you

    It's right to change the name it's offensive and racist.

    Not that I give a flying **** about American football.
