    I can direct you to some Kipling stories where he calls everyone not a WASP the n-word. I can’t direct you to a modern Brit doing the same thing IRL but trust me, they exist.

      That’s not the case anymore. Now they’d use “wog” for that.

      One of our local members of parliament, a youngish woman who had clearly read too much Enid Blyton, responded to a constitutent’s query with the phrase “n**er in the woodpile.” It not being the 1930s anymore, this was greeted with derision.
