I've just discovered there are a lot of politically incorrect terms for foreign people used in my grand fathers book about his time as a naval gunner at the turn of the previous century.

I'm going to have to do a lot more editing myself before I can publish this 😂

I recently finished reading The Lost World by Conan-Doyle and there are a few words in there that surprised me and raised my eyebrows. Definitely not politically correct!

It was quite a surprise to see them in a book.

It did make me consider how the world had grown since then. I was shocked at the language used describing people, they would have been shocked at the description of a pterodactyl.

The British view of an empire they rule circa1900 is very different from the current view from declining super power today.
