TBH as cleverly as the name has been constructed for the joke it is not something I would post today due to its racist connotations.
Not trying to be PC just my view.
How do we know though Ted that Tenmil isn't a real Asian name, it could be, some of our names for example sound like they are made up for a laugh, especially American names, Theodore, Buzz, Chad, imagine if they were common slang words for something obscene in India for example, you think they wouldn't be all over the Indian web? Prime example is fanny in America, completely different meaning from our version and that's people who speak the same language as us.
I watched The Dam Busters the other week, with Richard Todd, a WW2 hero I might add that was at Pegasus Bridge on D Day, I've seen that film hundreds of times, I watched it again to see if they had edited out his dogs name, it was a black dog and it's name began with N, I wanted to see if the PC brigade had been at work and beeped out the name whenever it was said, I fully expected it to happen but thankfully they appear to have just left it alone as when the dog was named it didn't have the same connotations it has today. We can't rewrite history no matter how unpleasant it might have been or how much we wish things hadn't happened. Learn from history, don't try to rewrite it.

The last time I saw it on telly it had been over dubbed using the name Digger. Ridiculously. Unless that was just my hearing.

I can’t be bothered going through life worrying about things that might offend somebody else who refuses to to see it in the right context. If you’re that arrogant that you think that you deserve to go through life and not be offended by something that somebody said because you don’t like it or agree with it you need to possibly reassess what the human race is.
Woke? Made up word, means nothing, Offended? Pa, not interested.
Not you Ted, just having a rant cos I’ve come home wet from falling in a pond today whilst netting

Not you Ted, just having a rant cos I’ve come home wet from falling in a pond today whilst nettingLOL! The last time I fell in a pond was at an annual new years eve party hosted by a well known fellow pagan. I was walking backwards to get a group into a photo and then....eekk...splash! :o I had actually joined a 'club' because many people have done the same over the years. ;D
