Gook is highly offensive. That'll be because the Yanks used that term a lot during the Vietnam war.

Oriental is not offensive, no more than calling us guys westerners. I don't particularly like being referred to as a westerner, but I'm hardly going to cry racism. I also prefer English over Briton, there are cultural differences between us and the Jocks, the Hun and the Taffies, and they all hate the English.

Me and a friend made up a racist slur. We were sick of hearing people refer to the good people of India as "Pakis", it's highly ignorant and massively disrespectful, since the Indians tend to really hate Pakistanis, so we came up with our own insult for the Indians, as a show of respect... Bollywog. I would hope even Indians find that one funny.
I would like to make it clear that I believe this person is absolutely *not* representative of a typical UK citizen.

That is all.
