"Honky" is a pejorative term used by black people for a white person  - so racism works both ways.

Indeed, but a post war slur originating in the industrial MID West still has nothing whatsoever to do with a Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale ::)

And I very much doubt that he wrote it as a study about the life and times of Hans Jonatan :-X

Remember, there is no such thing as bad publicity. And the JL Partnership need all the help they can get, as they are the next Debenhams.

Back in the late eighties and early nineties the youth of the period would walk through town with an oversized stereo appliance perched on their shoulder.


People would refer to it as a ghetto blaster or wog box.......such description would probably be considered racist today...... ::)m
