Would she have got away with calling her

Prosecuted for calling some a coconut? Whatever next? FFS.
She should have been prosecuted for being an idiot for implying that providing handouts to ethnic minorities is an acceptable use of public money.

WHS.

Personally, I never knew 'coconut' was categorised as a racial slur.

I'm presuming the word 'honky' also falls into this category - used to make me laugh when you used to see it used in late 70's/early 80's TV & movies like Starsky & Hutch or Magnum Force.
