As David Aaranovitch (Times writer) pointed out, this sort of language amongst the upper class is entirely part of the way they converse. they're all white and rich and have probably never met a balck person, let alone have any idea of how such language might be hurtful, disabling, demeaning and offensive. they have no way of understanding the idea.

But then again, Harry is the son of a man notoriously thick and a mother who was stupid beyond belief, so it's not surprise that, despite all the advantages on earth, he turns out to be a stupid and smug liitle git. The English upper classes are warnings about the dangers of in-breeding, don't marry your cousins kids !!

Why don't we mate Harry with one of the Bush girls and see if we can't come up with a Virulent Stupidity Gene?
