I suppose Ganga Din and his fellows had their pet name for the British too only they never made it into print

Twenty years or so ago I was called a Wigger. I've only just (in the past few years) learned what that means.

I remember being alittle taken aback the first time someone called me a White Guy.

Now it's common.

I guess applying the Golden Rule in hindsight is abit foolish albeit all the rage nowadays.
