Is “Blessed By The Melanin Fairy” okay?
I believe that "Coloured" was often used in the USA and in South Africa, by the "white" majority to identify and to discriminate against the disadvantaged and oppressed "non white" section of the community - as such, it is hardly surprising that it is not looked on in a particularly positive way by people who choose to describe themselves in other ways.I don't see this as a problem. It's the term I grew up with too. Far to many sensitive folks in this world . . .
Heres a question for you.
Have you ever had to describe a person to a group of people and were petrified of just saying "he the black dude" which would have saved you 1 minute of BS?
Is what i just said racist or insensitive? What do you think? Surely given the context saying Black/White Male/Female is a good ground to build a description on right?

Its baffling how today anyone still feels the need to refer to someones colour as a descriptor.
In the case of Diane Abbott instead of being described as a black woman, it would have been far more appropriate to describe her as an ignorant, racist, thick as pig muck hateful fat hag who is only where she is because she used to lunch on Corbyns genitals.

So you’re saying women can only get higher positions if they have sex with a man?
Not offensive at all.

You’re making yourself look really stupid lately with your inability to understand basic English.So you’re saying women can only get higher positions if they have sex with a man?

Correct. Plus, so long as wise voters with the help of the press reject a Corbyn government that's all that really matters.Very good. Black people being sensitive about being called 'coloured' is certainly their issue, not a derp on behalf of some dumb privileged privately-schooled overly sheltered Tory. You can probably count on less votes for the conservatives next time round though, so there's a plus.
But we're not the USA or South Africa, this is the UK. If we go down the road of examining other countries cultures and offensive words and language then we're likely to be rendered mute.I believe that "Coloured" was often used in the USA and in South Africa, by the "white" majority to identify and to discriminate against the disadvantaged and oppressed "non white" section of the community - as such, it is hardly surprising that it is not looked on in a particularly positive way by people who choose to describe themselves in other ways.
Perhaps the terms don't apply to you, as a result of which you don't see racist terms as a problem?
As to people's "sensitivity", have a look at the "Report" button at the bottom left of each post - designed to help the sensitive folks on here whine to the grown ups.

Same old nonsense.
It works in a world where there is no prejudice. Not real life.
We can ignore employers throwing out applications from foreign people, ignore police stopping and searching black and South Asian people more than white people, ignore the different personal safety issues women and men face. But then we draw an inaccurate conclusion on how we interpret people's behaviour and how we empathise with their experience.
Honestly, I don't even know what point you're trying to make with this. What lesson are we learning, how does it inform what we do about race, gender and disability prejudices? Why do you say it in every thread about any social issue?
Inaccurate description of a person's skin colour according to who? [..]
Also IDK what world you live in but I'd love to visit it sometime as despite what you say the reality is that some people do differentiate between 'black' and 'white' people [..]
Do you think Diane Abbott's relationship with Corbyn has helped her become shadow home secretary or do you think she brings something else to the table? (Forget about any whataboutery, I'm interested to know your opinion in this case)Hardly, gd loves attributing the act of a single person to everyone that’s relevant, I’m being consistent in pointing it out.
It's not a racist term. It's a word that was used in racist speech/publications.I believe that "Coloured" was often used in the USA and in South Africa, by the "white" majority to identify and to discriminate against the disadvantaged and oppressed "non white" section of the community - as such, it is hardly surprising that it is not looked on in a particularly positive way by people who choose to describe themselves in other ways.
