Another great read and sums up the game, the niggling doubts that many fans beginning to sense and the sense of the potential this side has.

Try asking a black person if they are coloured. You could well get the reply you are looking for.

Just in case you are not on the wind up.
Coloured is an unacceptable term. Some see it as uneducated. Some see it as a racist term. It goes back to the days of segregation.

I see that, especially when it relates to South Africa during apartheid, but why do people now call themselves "(wo)men of colour"?

Prejudice yes, ignorance no. You can't blame someone because they don't realise something is perceived as wrong.
Good write up apart from that Lawrence.

This is hilarious. Glad to have kicked off a debate. Just going forward lads and ladies, 'coloured' is not an OK term: let's leave it at that. What i was trying to point out was that this guy next to me - who I've spoken to and seems perfectly nice - was entirely oblivious that this wasn't ok. I'm sure if I mentioned it to him he'd be mortified. Thanks for reading pusb

Well the reason I say it is about intent is that a word is just a word. A word cannot be racist, it's people that associate meanings to words. Bad words become so as they used deliberately to offend or insult someone. Words can also change meaning according to the context in which they are used. Obviously, sensitive people do not even use words that they *know* can cause offence but if they are not even aware of negative connotations and use a word with good intent then I would imagine that 80% of people understand that they are not racist. Just as I could make up a word that has never been heard before & if I scream it with hate in my heart at someone then that is racism.
This is not an original thought - Lenny Bruce had a set on this theme and I'm sure it was thought up before then.

"ignorance creates racism and indifference perpetuates it". I can quote all day long from studies and documents all around the world which illustrates how ignorance plays a part in racism.

You are talking at cross purposes - I understand what both of you mean and you both have valid points. "Ignorance" - pesky words again!

That is why I said 'is seen by some as'
I take it you don't have any black friends. Or if you do you haven't used the term coloured in front of them.

I have plenty of friends of all colours and they know I am not a racist from my behaviour and friendship.

Probably time to stop arguing the toss over the term coloured then.
