Growing up in a council estate in Scotland it was common to refer to the local corner shop run by asians as the Pakies' and any time one went of a chinese meal it was usually refered to as 'going for a chinky'. I haven't used either of those references since I left Scotland, but I now Live in Australia and, frankly, that was mild racism compared to what I've heard over here.

i was talking about aboriginals
I have a close friend given brain damage from a random unprovoked attack by an aboriginal, and seen other friends of mine bashed. Im just suggesting the picture is more complicated when you live in remote communities, than accusations of abo-bashing
