People of colour is not a term I would use when talking about black people, simply because of growing up in the 70s and 8os in wembley, that was very multi cultural, my friends would not stand for being called coloured. I’m black not coloured, I’m not purple I’m black. They told me. So I call black people black, so I am reluctant to use the term people of colour unless I was talking about
The entire non white community.
And I'd agree with you on that single point chip.
Were you going anywhere with it though?
No it’s based on the use of it in the cartoon. And ihn first post on the first page telling me it’s the preferred terminology.
Righto, I think Bendydick Cummerbund had a Twitterstorm for calling someone "coloured" this year.
"Black" for afro-carribean individuals and [i]I think[/i] "BME" or "BAME" for collective minorities.

He did, I seem to remember he said he should have said people of colour, which is the "preferred" term
Very well put
+1.

I do get frustrated when people get in bother when they're actually trying to use the "correct" terminology.
I once saw a Malaysian lass have a right paddy over someone referring to "coloured people." Her preferred term was "people of colour." They're the same words in a different order FFS!
Everyone is of one colour or another. The term people of colour is ridiculous as it applies to everyone.

I still think Twitter is essentially just a great big clever dick contest.
