Either way, why can't we call people what they WANT to be called? If Aborigines don't like Abo, then just don't call them Abos. It's just common courtesy, and insisting, "But I'm not racist when I call you an Abo, Abo," is just plain childish, rude, and yes, racist.
I agree with this. Just ask people what they want to be called and don't call them something they find offensive. Seems simple to me.
