I assume you are refering to the G******* comment made today by Carol Thatcher.
Well it was not that long ago that a famous Jam company used to give away G******* stickers and you could save them up and get a G******* metal badge. I had them as a kid.
It was not that long ago that the BBC had a TV show called the Black and White Minstrals where all the black men were white people blacked up.
I remember an episode of Only Fools and Horses where Uncle Albert said he had been down the P*ki shop.
These, and many other things, were said and done for years with nobody worrying.
Now it seems the goalposts have moved, and making any statement that could even remotely be considered racist is probably the worst thing you can do.
But Welsh people are stilled Taffy, and Scots people are still called Jock, the Aussie's call us Poms, and so on.
But we dont get all up in arms about it. It is pathetic.
