ive no idea if thats offensive or not

I can't help thinking that calling someone 'coco nut' is highly likely to be offensive.

Is there a Political Correctness non-compliance ranking system?

Or

Whats worse .... Being Racist or Sexist?

IMO Don't believe that the Prince meant his remark in a racist context. However he should have been a bit more PC considering he gets paid for being a role model. Not his fault for being stupid , all that Royal inbreeding doesn't help with the IQ I suppose.

Remember Jade Goody , good match for the Prince me thinks:)

Rudeboy, you asked me for more details of a previous post - the least you could do is respond to my last comments...

One of the BBC commentators on the Obama situation just called him a coconut, referring to his race?! Now ive no idea if thats offensive or not, but I've never heard it before!

I believe the coconut metaphor is "brown on the outside, white on the inside" and is typically used by "brown" people to insinuate that someone looks "brown" but acts "white".
