I manage resources in India. A new (male)one kept calling me "Dear". I felt I ought to explain to him that this was not culturally appropriate.

Maybe I should have sued?

We naturally assume the potential racist villains here are indigenous British people, as always.

Yes, because in the eyes of the people who come up with this sort of tulip, indigenous British people, ie "white" people, are the only people who are racists. Everyone else has perfectly acceptable "cultural differences".

Interestingly, it turns out calling someone "love" where the correct word is "duck" is punishable by being told to get out of Stoke-On-Trent......

Not that that is much punishment......
