I've been calling my British friends "Brits" for over 30 years. The same with my Australian friends. I call them "Aussies". Is it wrong for those outside the States to call me a "Yank" ? What is worse. "Yank" "Brit" or "Paki"? Or does it matter ? Where is the outrage over the "N" word in rap music or the outrage over those calling us "Kafirs" or "Infidels"?
