Just recently, within the last year or so, there has been quite a lot of media speculation that the word "Pom" is racist.

I'm not sure what actual English think of the term. But I know I've used it. Like saying "bloody poms" or "pommie bastard", in a joking manner.

English seem to take it well, most of them don't care, as far as I'm aware. But the PC people seem to be out in force to stop people saying it.

Any thoughts?
