Because the opposite of Nazi is rule of law.

I must revise my earlier reply. Watching a documentary about George Michael, it seems it was a current and offensive slur in the UK even decades ago. Apparently my childhood was sheltered from homophobia.

There was substantial indentured labour and serfdom in England too. Surely simple redistributive tax based on wealth is fairer?

Anyway how do you determine whos ancestors had slaves, or weren't involved, or were slaves? You want to start tracing bloodlines?! Should the English pay the Irish?

This is an example of the American cultural imperialism someone else was whining about above. In the UK a f@ggot is a type of food. There are adverts on the telly for it. A fag is a cigarette. Gypsy is not necessarily perjorative (it appears as a category on the census). Not sure what tr*p is, but if it's tramp, that's a homeless person. Also, a fanny is ladybits.
