Asking someone where they are from

[Dis86]

I wasn't going to join this but you guys peaked my interest. I did some digging and the answer is. It depends on your point of reference for what a colour is.

Do you consider what you perceive with your eyes to be the colour spectrum, then yes white and black can be considered as colours.

However if you consider what is actually emitted by electromagetic waves and how your eyes detect the colour white (red, green and blue colour cones are stimulated by their respective electromagnetic waves, like how we are all stimulated by this discussion ) then no neither black or white is a colour.

I, like most humans perceive with my eyes.

Just seen this. WTF? You have literally transposed the word heritage with race and are asking why it's racist?

You're gonna have to explain a little better as currently I have no clue what you're talking about.

 

[SpeedFreak]

Some one should have said that to Lady SH.

Boom boom.

Whoooshhhh

Cultural theft should be illegal

My 4x grandparents are Irish, my 8x great grandparents are Irish and so on but I call myself British but when asked I say I'm English.
My mate has got one Irish grandparent, he's changed his name to an Irish spelling of his name which is very hard to find on Facebook because it contains accents and he decided to play in an Irish jig band
I'm waiting for him to wear a Leprechaun suit and carry a pot of gold around.

Kings xmas speech will be interesting whether he's holding out the olive branch or internment in the tower.

 

[Angilion]

I did, all I got were opinion pieces

The whole subject of colour is an opinion piece because colour is just an interpretation of wavelengths. Usually not even that - without machinery it's just an interpretation of an approximation of wavelength.

Kings xmas speech will be interesting whether he's holding out the olive branch or internment in the tower.

That won't help unless he's beating himself with an olive branch and shouting "mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!" And probably not even then.

Kings xmas speech will be interesting whether he's holding out the olive branch or internment in the tower.

If he's got any sense, which IMHO he has rarely shown to date, he'll just ignore it and move on. I worry that he'll be a politically correct, let's all get on and be friends, talk to the plants, ban crop hormones kind of king, whilst failing to grasp any nettle robustly.

Ngozi Fulani's charity Sistah Space stops work over safety

Ngozi Fulani earlier this week said her team had received "horrific abuse" on social media.

www.bbc.co.uk

Sistah Space was thrown into the spotlight when its founder, Ngozi Fulani, said she felt she was "interrogated" by Lady Susan Hussey at Buckingham Palace last month.
It says it has now "ceased many" of its operations over safety.
Ms Fulani has said she suffered online abuse after speaking out.
[...]
In a statement on its Instagram page, domestic violence charity Sistah Space said: "Thank you for the continued support and messages.
"Unfortunately recent events meant that we were forced to temporarily cease many of our operations to ensure the safety of our service users and our team.
"We are overwhelmed by the amount of support and encouragement and look forward to fully reinstating our services as soon as safely possible."

Seems there might be issues with her charity like dodging taxes or something.
