Reply With QuoteI never felt that I had to but then I am strange
Yesterday we had Benedict Cumberbatch having to apologise for using the term "coloured" when referring to black people. On the BBC TV News this morning Tiger Woods, talking about having to blend in with other people at a ski resort, referred to himself as "brown".
It seems to be that non-black people have to use the term "black" but black people can call themselves what they like.
It's all very confusing

other colours, yes.
Which leads me to ask what you do in such a situation? If you were trying to describe a black person to someone who'd never met them and had to distinguish them from a crowd that was mostly white, how would you describe them?
La, I was trying to let that one go so he could tie himself up in even more knots.
This had the potential to get f**king surreal.
