In 1994, when I lived in Spain, I was explaining to a friend about how I had to carry laundry for a considerable distance and that is why my shoulder ached and he said, "Debes comprar un negro." I was utterly floored.

Spain and Latin America are some of the most racist places on earth. The UK and Ireland win no prizes for racial sensitivity either, now that you mention it (and I'm sure you did). And when you try to call someone on their stupid bullshit they laugh you off for being a typical P.C. American. But the Spainiards - ai yi yi dios mio.
