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 😂
You going woke? Typical Boomer 😆😅
Would you like me to DM some of the terms he used? 😂
I'm just messing. It make sense not to use derogatory terminology. 🤐
I know, but it is seriously offensive to modern ears 😂
Also my father-in-law has an old 78 gramophone record that is the most offensive song possible for African people.
Also, it is a Christmas ballad popular among Victorians 😂
I can't imagine the terminology you might mean? Pre 1900s is Olde English even
Terminology in my grandfathers book is bad, but the storyline on the Christmas song in my father-in-laws collection is really bad 😂
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.
