1208935 2011-06-13 09:20:00 While on the subject, the word "Gay" means "happy, jolly, bright, decorated, cheerful" certainly has nothing to do with Homosexuality. I hate it when an arrogant section of the community claims a word as their own. Nothing wrong with "Homo"!

Even as late as 1953 Perry Como was singing 'Keep it Gay' with the proper meaning of the word.......... www.jazz-on-line.com or, if you prefer a bigger mp3 file....

Perhaps 2 versions of the film could be made, one with the word Nigger for those of us that call a spade a spade, and one with the word Digger for the sensitive Americans.

We had a discussion on an old time music site a while ago about songs whose lyrics had been re-written because of causing racial offence, or perceived offence, almost no contributor was brave enough to write the word 'nigger' in case of causing offence.

Agatha Christie's book and play 'Ten Little Niggers' is a classic case:
"British editions continued to use the work's original title until the 1980s and the first British edition to use the alternative title And Then There Were None appeared in 1985 with a reprint of the 1963 Fontana Paperback.[10] Today And Then There Were None is the title most commonly used"

Hilariously, the Americans have preferred the title 'Ten Little Indians' :punk

1208941 2011-06-14 00:08:00 Mfft.

Just call the dog whitie or cracker and nobody will complain... or if they do, then perhaps they will also then be a bit more sensitive about the issue of the dog being called nigger, and the state of the society that approved of the name at the time.

One of the reasons I left.

Why not just call the dog Pakeha then since that's not apparently racist
