I bet, conveniently enough, you can provide no evidence or links which back this up.

I would be very VERY surprised if any of that could be proven.

When I worked in England earlier this year my HR Head took me to one side and asked if I wanted to take action against a colleague of mine who referred to me as "Taff". I told her I didn't care and was not interested in anything like that.

Yes I'm aware of the huge difference between a Welsh person being called that and a black person being called n***** but it shows that today companies are very racially sensitive.
