We shouldn't have to do stuff not to offend them, it should be the other way around. They come over to our country so should live by our rules, we shouldn't have to adapt our rules to suit and in effect enforcing double standards.

But you know its extreme and so silly when saying blackboard, black coffee etc is deemed offensive and it has to be just board and coffee without milk.

I'm one of the least PC people you'll ever meet, I don't care if I offend someone who isn't natively from this country by doing something that has always happened in Britain.

Then theres also the argument that immigrants find it equally silly and pointless. There is talk to downgrade Christmas from being a big event to being a non event which basically means no decoration in public places etc just not to offend other cultures. Now if we moved over to another country with different customs I wouldn't expect them to downgrade their holidays just to suit me, in fact I'd want them to continue because its part of their culture.
