And his mother apologised on our behalf? She was already apologising on behalf of her son it seems.

I think you need to read what I wrote a little more carefully, because you haven’t understood it.

The pejorative use is the NOUN not the adjective, and it does not mean ‘blacks’. It means NIGGERS and comes from the use of the word for slaves.

Adjective: ragel iswed (not pejorative, simple descriptor)
Noun: iswed (pejorative, meaning nigger)

No, it was the police officer at the other end of the line.

The whole conversation sounds inane.

The ‘Madonna tas-suwed comment just makes it even worse.

Where’s this place anyway? The statue is on the side not near the roundabout as far as I know.
