The trouble is, Ken's generation were brought up using words that younger generations have since been made aware, could have racist connotations. Do I cringe if I hear my mother talking about coloureds? A bit. Do I think she is racist? 100% no. She is being innocent, and in her mind complimentary when she says that half-castes are very beautiful. It's just the label she learned.

Do I feel outrage that in the 70s there was an actual paint colour called n***** brown? I don't. I would if they brought out that paint colour today. Can you imagine if they tried to screen something like "Love Thy Neighbour?"

All I'm trying to say is that these were the words that were politically correct within that generation, and although they are not acceptable today, I know how difficult it is to adapt to new ways of expression sometimes. I think that racism, or any kind of -ism is really offensive if intended to hurt or demean By this token, and apologies for using the word "token", I think the real crime is ignorance rather than racism.
