jimmy boo Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Speaking as someone who you would describe as 'coloured' I would definitely be massively insulted if i was described in this way and having grown up in Birmingham I know all my childhood friends would feel exactly the same. It's an offensive , racist and belittling term and I'm genuinely gutted that it's deemed acceptable here.I am not describing you as coloured as I don't know anything about you. If you read my post I am saying what one of my best friends describes herself as. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody can explain why other than "It just is." (I refuse to use their incorrect spelling, BTW.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 In America the term 'coloured person' is offensive but 'person of colour' is acceptable. Nobody can explain why other than "It just is." (I refuse to use their incorrect spelling, BTW.)It's easy to explain why. Pre-60s the term 'coloured' was used openly as a disparaging term for black people. It was on all the signage for Jim crow laws. It clearly has a 'history'.People of colour is a completely different term and isn't just used to mention black people. It's used to show wider racism faced by non white people. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm concerned it's a term which offends me deeply but I reported a post on the Italian football thread this morning and the post remains. I'd just like to clarify if blatant racism such as this is allowed on this forum? One of my colleagues is from Cameroon, I double -take every time he uses the noun “negro”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he's racially haranguing poor mathematics. (no fiscal judgement implied) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m learning Spanish and still find it uncomfortable that the word for black is negro. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
