I give up.
Is there an actual Law that prohibits someone calling somebody else "Fatso"? or "Ginger"? Are kilts and Irish jokes still ok? (Some Irish comedians would be out of work if that were so). I know sombreros were banned from a Students' carnival because one Mexican "snowflake" in Guadalajara was "offended".
"Snowflakes" with halitosis are really enjoying themselves, feeling superior to the common man. Strip Shows are closing down, because the strippers are offended, and ventriloquist dummies are banned by one midget snowflake.

I don't mind any of the above at all, but I just wish I knew, in case I upset some "Dingle" who doesn't like me taking the piss.

I am actually aware of the situation you mention talksaft and it is not at all as it was printed in the 'Daily Fail' that the University banned sombrero's as they are racist. The truth was that during freshers week a Mexican restaurant attended an event at the university which was attended by local business's (basically we're here use us) and they were giving away sombreros to the students. However the Student Union who organised the event has a policy which states companies visiting the university are not allowed to give away items, which re-enforce racial stereotypes, they were not saying don't wear them or that wearing them was racist, just you can not give away freebies which carry on a stereotype.

I think this is where much of the problems lie, newspapers are there to make money and so sensationalise everything they think will sell them more papers and the truth be dammed. Its the old adage if they were writing a piece the bloke who f**ted in the pub and by the time the paper came out he'd would have s**t himself.
