Here in the uk , the P word is probably the most offensive word you could use against a person of Indian descent. Up there with the n word. removed (f word) is also probably the most offensive slur you can use in reference to gay people. It's correct that they banned them.
Guessing you're from America where being offensive is cool. Historically people used to justify the n word based on the origins rather than the highly offensive connotations.
UK ain't woke, just has some acceptance that people from different backgrounds have some value rather than pandering to grumpy white folk who care about nothing but themselves and how inconvenient it is to possibly consider other words.
Lmao. Of all the countries to say this about.
