    "a person of colour"

    Just a recent observation on UK TV is that within the last two months (give or take)the presenters now use the term "a person of colour".

    Until that point, it would seem that the politically correct term was "black", and before that "coloured".

    I am always interested to know who concludes what it the politically correct term and who concludes when something that was politically correct is no-more and thus offensive.

    It makes me wonder how long it is before the term "a person of colour" is seen to be offensive and what the next term will be.

      how do you figure person of color is a synonym for black? Black is African, person of color could be Paki, Indian as an example.

      Minorities conclude that. Their word is final. If they said "black" is offensive majority should bow down to minority rule and invent new "non offensive" word.

          well nowadays its so easy to say something and claim it as being racists, its similar to feminism. I saw a story of a man who saved a girl from drowning, so he gave her mouth to mouth and she claimed rape.. what I'm getting at is that whats is said today can be interpreted differently than the way its meant to be.

              It's intended to imply that whites are stuck in the 1950's.

                  What coloured person comes to mind?

                  Does it rhyme with tack?

                      You can figure which tribe it is from the threads they start here.

                                  Person of color, atleast in western society (and as far as I know), is usually referring to a darker skin tone aka "black" but theoretically includes Hispanics and Asians...

                                      How is darker skin "aka" black if there are Indians, Pakistani and others, especially in the context of UK?

                                          I find it interesting that deranged weirdo forum spammer DVTimes cannot write more than a few sentences without making at least one big mistake such as a totally misplaced word.
