I could be totally wrong, but I'm wondering if this is someone witha personal vendetta / agenda, rather than a rival seller. Smacks of overdone ppolitical correctness to me.

Agree.

 

I won't say what i'd like to say because then i'd be accused of being racist.

You can't say anything these days without being labelled a racist. I got accused of being racist at work last year and hauled into the bosses office because I asked an Indian colleague to not come through that door when we are doing XYZ, please enter through the other door. He went running crying to the boss and I got reprimanded for being racist!!!

Then you get the mugs who get offended on behalf of someone else. I said the word black in front of a black colleague and got called a filthy racist by a white colleague. The word black was in reference to a pair of shoes. Apparently it's OK for my black colleague to say white shoes, but if I say black shoes I am a filthy racist. No, my black colleague was not offended one bit and she couldn't see what all the fuss was about.

Political correctness has gone mad. It's completely out of control. You can't even buy Golliwog biscuits these days. Arnott's had to change the name to Scallywags because some idiot took offence to it (probably someone white getting offended on someone's behalf).

I work in a very multicultural environment and when the bosses aren't there, it's just full on racial slinging off. It's all in fun and no-one gets offended. I get called white trash or spook, the Asians all get called someone else's name because "all Asians look the same". The Indians get called Middle Eastern and the Middle Easterns get called Indians or Africans. One of the Australian born of Italian decent is called wog by EVERYONE. She started that! If we thought for one minute anyone was getting offended, it wouldn't happen. We like to have fun at work because it makes the day more pleasant for all.
