I've just read on Al Jazeera website, an article about the dreadful racism of Philip,.He doesn't try to offend, he IS offensive etc,giving many examples.
We have heard all this before and sometimes excused it as his sense of humour or his age.
In a way it's lucky he's out of the picture at the moment with allthats going on!

Poor example, Galaxy.

'Slag' is everything I said (^ desire to insult or belittle or demean another racial group or a belief that he, P Philip, is in any way superior to that racial group^). It is intended as an insult and as an expression of superiority.

Referring to slitty eyes or throwing spears (though I must admit I haven't read the article cited in the OP as there was no link, so there may be more examples which do fit my criteria) is tactless and inappropriate, but where is the hate that is the basis of most racist discourse?

But if someone could post a link I should read the article, shouldn't I?

It looks as if it was put in by an Indian was one of the phrases.
