Hmmm. Someone's just suggested I've made a racist comment.

Someone said they would have to leave a meeting at 2.30 in order to get to a dentist's appointment. I made the standard 'tooth hurty/2.30' remark, only for someone in all seriousness to imply that that might be offensive to Chinamen.

I feel like Big Fat Ron now.

Inevitably enough, it was a white, middle-class woman. The same one who hates me for admitting voting Leave. I laughed it off.

Maybe I should go into the other office to check with a Chinese lady whether or not she finds it offensive?

Well this is what I think. This is surely an intrinsic part of our culture?

I was quite shocked that it could even be considered racist, tbh. Maybe this is how my granny felt when she asked for 'nïgger brown' wool in Allders in Croydon in the early 80s?

Perhaps the person is in a lot of discomfort, perhaps 2:30 was the only appointment they could get before Thursday.

Sometimes these things happen P. The world of commerce, or journalism, ticks on.

Fair point, actually. For some reason, dentist's appointments are always considered a valid reason to fück off, aren't they?

a) It's not racist anyway. You were doing a voice of someone who just had dentist work.

b) you can't be racist against the Chinese. It doesn't exist.

Hmmm. What if I put a lampshade on my head, pull my eyes into slits and start saying 'Ahh-so. I am Ching-Chong Chinaman'?
