Green 'niggers'
Apologies for the racialist heading but here's a confession of sorts. As a schoolchild, we often visited a 'youth club' twice a week.
We would often clamber around the arcade games, one of which was the Double Dragon side scrolling fighting game.
Now ... There was a part in the game were you encountered and fought against a green bloke and his two black associates, and in my total innocence I assumed the noisy backdrop of semi-inbred, small-minded howling of 'kill the nigger' behind us (as we played the game) was aimed at the green guy. And for a long time, I thought that word was just the description of a green, street-fighting pixel, boss, guy.
I got into a lot of trouble one day in the playground when I was fooling around, toy-fighting with friends, when I announced that 'I'd be the nigger and you guys can kill me'.
This still haunts me.
