  Why are you offended on their behalf Sarah ? Do you know they are offended by it ? If you were a member of the gangs that rioted, would you be offended ?
  
  How do you know that they are offended, they may think the terms is quite sweet, after all we all love bunnies - don't we ?
  
  
  It is indeed Richard.
  
  It's not even as if it is a derogatory term used nowadays; I've not heard it for years, I just assumed people found another word for black people.
  
  It doesn't cause offence to Irish people to be called Mick or Paddy, does it ?
  It doesn't cause offence to Welsh people to be called Taffy, does it ?
  It doesn't cause offence to Chinese people to be called Chinky, does it ?
  
  Black people have adopted words that we used to use as derogatory terms to insult each other and they are much worse than that used by Bob; why are we (some) feeling insulted on their behalf - it's not us being talking about ?
  
  What about words that black people use as derogatory terms to describe/insult us white people - snowdrops, as Peter said; are we offended ?
  
  If you are a rioter, then be insulted: black or white; male or female; rich or poor; employed or unemployed - they are all in the same grouping as far as I am concerned.
