As someone who grew up in the 70s where terms such as this and those used by many to describe people from south Asia, Africa and the Caribbean etc they were never meant kindly & were always racial slurs. Normalising racist language is just a means to normalise racist behaviour & is never acceptable
Well I’ve never known racist slur “Ch*nki” considered to be ‘nice’👇🏼

Reform politician's racist Chinese slur 'caused a lot of hurt' say members of Wales Chinese community

Farage trivialised it defending her saying “she used a word that.. was probably meant in a nice way 20 years ago”

This is not much of a shock or surprise given what we already know about him and let’s be honest it won’t hugely damage his popularity as those in the media who promote him, and those who vote for him are themselves racist too.

If Gill gets 10 years, they should throw away the key for Farage, Johnson and all the rest of the Russian assets in UK politics

It’s not shocking that Farage is an antisemitic racist (see his NF past) but what is shocking is that he is touted as next PM and shamelessly promoted by BBC and rest of mainstream media as a serious political player.
