F A Chairman

Quoted from lew chaterleys lover

They dont need to be "corrected" do they? They don't mean any harm, they are not insulting anyone it is just the term they grew up with.

If we didn’t progress as a society my Dad would still be whacking off to 25 year old copies of Razzle. He’s moved online for his content but he still calls Zimbabwe, Rhodesia!

Quoted from Knut Anders Fosters Voles

You’re 69 though Ipswin. A young buck!!

I do agree it can be a difficult situation. I read yesterday that ethnic minority is much preferred to BAME by members of those communities

A young buck? I wish I was!

As far as the use of the term 'black' is concerned I recall its use many many years ago (at football matches and in other places) but it was often followed by another word beginning with B in an openly racist way.

Ethic minority? Well yes, but there may well be those not happy with being put in that category either

Incidentally whilst it was not the main problem with his statement, I don't see the comment the FA bloke made about Asians being more career minded (or whatever he said) rather than wanting to kick a football around. His observation was 100% accurate IMO

He hasn't got any copies he's finished with has he?

Quoted from Ipswin

I'm 69, I read newspapers, spend hours on the internet and watch TV (often at the same time) and it totally escaped me that 'coloured' was no longer acceptable. I was of course aware that the 'n' word, in use when I was a teenager was no longer acceptable (if it ever was) but I had heard of 'a person of colour' which I equated to 'coloured' allowing me to think coloured was acceptable in fact I too didn't like calling people 'black' (not all 'black' people are in my view black in fact some of mixed black / white race may not like it) Then of course we get BAME, what the intercourse is that all about?

For God's sake 'swin I'm 64 I'm well aware coloured is offensive and have been since the 60's as my aunt lived in Florida, they toilets labelled white and coloured. Buses for white and coloured and drinking fountains for white and coloured. Rosa Parkes was asked to get of the bus because she was coloured. This term was used to describe any one non white and denoted a lower class. Stay with it man and Google BAME. yes all lives matter but DO NOT MISUNDERSTAND THE BLM, its so much more. I went to school with Tony Ford I really didn't realise he was black until he played for Town when there were racist chants aimed at him. He was just our mate Tony.

We need to be careful with this 'it's the way they were brought up' and 'they don't mean any harm' defence of old people's racism - it's still racism. There was a time when beating your wife was acceptable, sending kids up chimneys was acceptable and it was the way people were brought up.

My parents were brought up with no phone in their houses but they've managed to adapt and facetime me once a week.

The impact of racism is not on the racists, it is on those who are racially abused, whatever that abuse looks like.

(I am making a general point here, not having a go at Knut or his parents).

You're never finished with a copy of Razzle.

Well clearly you are a clever girl private and are you now saying that any non-white is black?

Depends how you were brought up
