Also it harks back to the bad old days of widespread racism.
And isn't really very descriptive anyway.

Is it better to describe somebody as 'black' or 'coloured'?
Describing people as coloured, is old fashioned and comes from a time when black people were treated very unfairly, it is much better to use the term black.
There are lots of rumours that cause people to feel uncomfortable about saying black, but as a descriptive term it is absolutely fine, and is a term that has been chosen by and is used by black people.
Coloured was used to describe anybody who was not white, which may imply that to be white is ‘normal’ or default. This can contribute to racist ideas and behaviour, and if we consider it, every human has a skin colour, so technically we are all coloured.

I'm sorry but I have to speak up for Nikki here, oconnors_strip. The disgraceful incidents on the pitch, that she was commenting on, surely greatly outweigh her use of the word "coloured"...? Maybe it's just me, but it's ironic on a thread where people are commenting on racism that some are taking more issue with one word someone has innocently used. How do you know the players were even black, incidently?
I work for one of the most PC organisations in the country and the thinking currently is the term 'person of colour' is the way forward. Go figure....

In my opinion too much emphasis is placed on the words used, rather than the intent behind them, and it's how educated racists get away with discrimination, because they avoid specific words.
As I said, my main issue would be that it's fairly antiquated, and rather undescriptive.
Though out of interest what is a PC organisation?

The term is not being 'used against' anyone. Certainly not in the post quoted. Not any more than describing someone as being 'tall' or 'short'.
People of colour know that their skin is not white. Or peely-wally pink. People of colour use the term to describe themselves. It's not 'darkie', it's not n****r and it's not coon. It's colour. Nature. What in the name of **** can be offensive about that?
Variety. Spice ay life (to quote Irvine W).

I was delighted to see Celtic finally knocked out of European football last night. They've been useless and their lack of progress has been everybody else's fault except their own. Last night it was the referee who must have been incompetent, biased or corrupt ( according to Delilah ) to book seven Celtic players. I never saw the game but I've got a good enough grip on reality to suspect that the Celtic play had something to do with it. We've had a few weeks of being brainwashed by Delilah and the MSM telling us how brilliant they were becoming and even a suggestion that they could go on to win the Europa Cup. I'm glad they've been proved wrong and, while they'll probably go on to domestic success, I hope they don't get it all their own way, starting with a defeat to Aberdeen at the weekend.
