I was reading in the Metro today that they had published an article in which the headline used the word "Chinaman". This wasn't part of a retraction, but rather an obscure letter to the editor. Oy...

Also were multiple letters about how present-day Britons shouldn't feel remorse over the slavery their ancestors imposed. Another writer noted that there were European slaves in Northern Africa in the 16th-19th centuries, the same time the British were practicing slavery (as though that makes it all right).

And yet another series of letters condemning prejudice and (what is essentially) racism against red-haired people ("gingers") in Britain.

Things get weirder and weirder...
