We are discussing the subject and not talking about people out in the street etc. you know there is
a difference but if it makes feel better to think otherwise then fine.

The old ones are the best.
Nic. What do you see here?
There has been a complete u-turn regarding this
When I was at secondary school (20+ years ago) pupils were told to use the term coloured when describing anyone of an ethnic minority. Using the term black was a no-no as it singled out a particular minority from other minorities.
Now it's deemed offensive to use the term coloured when referring to black people so why the change?
I am utterly unable to discern your point, actually. You seemed to be suggesting that you did not
use skin colour as a way of describing people.
Which was clearly *******s.
