'Coconut' row Bristol City councillor found guilty

Shirley Brown was given a 12-month conditional discharge and ordered to pay £620 costs

A councillor has been found guilty of racial harassment after she called a political opponent a "coconut".
Liberal Democrat Shirley Brown called Asian Conservative Jay Jethwa a "coconut" during a debate at Bristol City Council in February 2009.
District Judge Simon Cooper, sitting at Bristol Magistrates' Court, told Brown: "You made a mistake this time. You have to accept responsibility."
He gave Brown a 12-month conditional discharge.
She was also ordered to pay £620 costs, following the trial on Monday.

She certainly didn't shy away from saying what she thought!

Dream up a new meaning to a common word, make it racist, talk about killing speech!

In fairness I've heard coconut used as a racial slur before. They use it in Australia to describe people of Pacific Island descent.

ya, common here too.

Pacific Islanders will joke about it between themselves, but don't call them a coconut if you're not an islander

Its a racist word.... weird one.

It's not a new meaning to coconut.

http://www.slang-dictionary.com/definition/coconut.html

British a non-white person who collaborates with the white establishment, an ‘Uncle Tom’. This expression, used by young Asians and blacks since the 1980s, refers to the idea that such people are, like the coconut, black on the outside but white on the inside.

Ah right, bit like West Brit in the Irish Republican threads.

Just one of the many new words I learned today on wikipedia.

I've heard both coconut and bounty used as racial slurs in the UK, as mentioned above it's most often used by asians or blacks against others
of their own race who they feel are trying to act 'white' hence the 'White on the inside but dark on the outside'.
