I dunno. Old people can be genuinely just daft/don't intend it to harm even if it does.
Other cunts just look to rile. Absolutely hate people saying 'Jock' or 'Scotch' as they fucking well mean to be derogatory, so more than willing to accept that Chinese and Asians might feel the same about so-called 'abbreviations' to their nationalities.
In terms of power dynamics, we've got Taffs for Welsh, Jocks for Scots, Micks for Irish. What's the abbreviation for English? Thought 'Tommy' but I checked and it's British soldier? It really hadn't even occurred to me to think about it till now.
