LOL Bigots
Freddie Woo says: "A bloke who lived next door to my mum told me on the day Diana died that it was 'God's punishment for sleeping with an Arab'". Tell us stories of bigots, racists, sexists, homophobes and loud-mouths so that we may point and laugh

I think Down Under it's used just as an abbreviation.
But I think it's more the cultural heritage of racism in Britain that' associated with it that's the issue.
Any word in the right context can be offensive, and if there's a general habit of it being written on a brick and put through your window at tea-time, it will start to be generally regarded as such.
Q.v. "Gay" meaning happy, homosexual, or - offensively to homosexuals - rubbish.
