BTW - just remembered that when I was in Antigua a year or so back I was wandering along the lanes and by-ways as is my want when a truck full of black youths passed. One of them called out "Hey - White Nigger!"

I was not sure whether to feel insulted or not and if so why. I did not feel particularly threatened so I ignored it. It was only some weeks later I began to wonder if they were referring to the fact I was walking and looking particularly ill-kept, as is also my want. Perhaps it was a reference to me looking poor?

Anyone know?

Cheers
