It doesn't sound credible that race was used as the reason for this claim. I don't drink tea or coffee but I think being clear about milk in a world full of allergies and intolerance is a good thing.

I'm appointing myself spokes person for women, I know what's sexist and what's not, men eh who'd have em, don't talk to me about periods. Yeah that's how fucking ridiculous do Gooders sound, when they presume to know what is offensive, I've suffered racism, real racism, lost tooth, 4 hrs in a&e footprint on my head racism, and not once during the extensive beating did he ask me if I wanted black or white coffee, use a black board, sing baa baa fucking black sheep, or avoid telling me he was going to beat me till I black out. Racism exists, that's a sad fact of life, but some people are trying too hard to not be racist, so hard they are becoming a bit racist if that makes sense | |||

They don't serve coffee it has to be a made up sudo italian word, not just for the coffee but the mug you want it in too... Ask for a medium black coffee and you may as well be talking Martian. | |||

"It would only be racist if there was an actual difference in the coffee served to black people and white people. One gets a plastic cup, the other bone China? So is medication that is different for white and black people racist?" Different people have different needs and some races are more susceptible you some conditions than others. For example, darker skinned people are more susceptible to vitamin D deficiency than lighter skinned people. There are many other, far more serious illnesses, that affect some races more than others. The reality is is that we are not all the same and that there are differences between races that do go deeper than just the colour of the skin. To ignore that fact in the treatment of people just in case it was considered racist would be to do a disservice to those affected. Being equal does not mean being the same. | |||

No, I was born in the Black Country, but according to some over sensitive prick from Wolverhampton the Black Country flag is racist, because it features a chain,
The Black Country made chains
We exported those chains
People used those chains to chain black people
Wtf
Those chains probably were used by the suffragettes to chain themselves to railings thus gaining votes for women, but some people just can't be positive can they "Black Country wench here, it was the heart of the industrial revolution.

"Today someone told me that they used to work in catering for large functions. They told me that when serving coffee, they had to ask "with or without milk" because to ask if they wanted "black or white coffee" was considered to be racist. So is it racist to ask "would you like black or white coffee?"? " As a black person I've NEVER come across a black person who is remotely bothered by such bollocks: it's white people nonsense. I had a boss I got on well with. The first time he offered to make me coffee he asked me how I took it. I said black, like my men, and that became our standing joke. Someone overheard us and took me aside and wanted me to take out a grievance for his racist remarks. | |||

And they get paid to do this, generally by taxpayers money. Now that's what I find offensive. Here endeth my little rant. I'm appointing myself spokes person for women, I know what's sexist and what's not, men eh who'd have em, don't talk to me about periods. Yeah that's how fucking ridiculous do Gooders sound, when they presume to know what is offensive, I've suffered racism, real racism, lost tooth, 4 hrs in a&e footprint on my head racism, and not once during the extensive beating did he ask me if I wanted black or white coffee, use a black board, sing baa baa fucking black sheep, or avoid telling me he was going to beat me till I black out. Racism exists, that's a sad fact of life, but some people are trying too hard to not be racist, so hard they are becoming a bit racist if that makes sense " Do gooding white people: the bane of black people. | |||

"This is more that a 7 year old debate, originating in the US college (university) campuses. It was around the time when there was a movement to take back the word "black" in language. Similar divisions can be seen in sex when there was a drive for androgynous terms like 'police person' or 'fire person' and the like, instead of police woman or police man.

They told me that when serving coffee, they had to ask "with or without milk" because to ask if they wanted "black or white coffee" was considered to be racist. So is it racist to ask "would you like black or white coffee?"? " What about coffee coloured? | |||

"I was with you until the religious bit entered the story- do you have Mormons knocking on your door telling you that swinging sends you to the 7th level of hell? " I did not mention any particular faith, I made a general statement, in the same way as I could have said that the race to maximum 'political correctness' is lead by the most radical elements of the pseudo liberal ultra left wing of the political spectrum and supported by the equally unpalatable ultra right wing. While the rush to curb sexual freedoms is lead by Ultra conservative right wing religious groups. But I chose to be so verbose. For this I apologise. | |||

"I said: Will you feel the same way when it is turned on you? Remember you (and I along with everyone else here) are seen as deviants by many and we are already coming under attack by the the more radical elements of many religions and they are the ones who drive the PC movement. I was with you until the religious bit entered the story- do you have Mormons knocking on your door telling you that swinging sends you to the 7th level of hell? I did not mention any particular faith, I made a general statement, in the same way as I could have said that the race to maximum 'political correctness' is lead by the most radical elements of the pseudo liberal ultra left wing of the political spectrum and supported by the equally unpalatable ultra right wing.

OK I'm just still unsure who is out there actively trying to curb sexual freedoms? It's not something I've seen debated on question time or in the commons recently... Some religious groups tell their members that bum sex is wrong, but I haven't seen them stood outside gay saunas with placards since my last visit | |||

Because it seems to me to be a recurring subject. I have also noticed that whenever there is a proposal to open a sex shop or club or relax any sexual restrictions (prostitution, brothels and the like) then there is always a well organised and funded highly voluble campaign to oppose liberalisation that is always led by religious community leaders. But as you say you cant remember the last time you saw anything... Just proves the old adage 'a week is a long time in politics'. | |||

But we do visit AbFabs and it's a bit more relevant to forum. Some people are trying to close that down - are they religious nuts or just secular prudes? | |||

"This is an ancient debate which I remember raising its head over fifteen years ago. At the time l decided to use the phrase "with milk or without". Why, because coffee is not black and 'with or without milk' is accurate. Wow is that painful? I am staunch believer in PC because at the end of the day its values are firstly being polite, secondly it is about being inclusive. All those against PC go watch 70s sitcoms and representation of minorities and women in pre 1990s films. In an age where we are trying to present positive role models for young girls, shape the behavior of young men, include gay and trans as equals in in the community. Then we need to take care of how we use language. As a man l need to take care how l address a woman and seek consent for bedroom talk. In discussing other ethnic groups or cultures, why would l seek to deliberately give insult? Politeness, inclusiveness, tolerance and treating people equally without being taken for a mug l believe are British values. Unfortunately in my _iew in the PC debate too many listen to the hype!" Ozzz you're a very wise man | |||

"White goods; maybe these should be offered in black, brown and yellow too for the PC brigade not to get offended At one point I had all black appliances in my kitchen, I think I'm the racist now
Microwave, refrigerator, kettle: Black
Dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, food processor, blender, can opener: White
Toaster, bread maker,: Silver
Damn, I am about to get done for favouring White more than any other colour
Don't these idiots have anything better to do?
It doesn't matter what colour they are they're all equally domestic appliances. .
I think the commonly used term is, white goods! "Bloody racist. | |||

"However don't scoff, for this was the reasoning behind the demise of the school blackboard in favour of the chalkboard. Yet you still get whiteboards..." This is a myth. My sister is a teacher and I can assure you it's still called a blackboard. | |||

The poor kettle doesn't think so; overworked, underpaid and over-here.
That's entirely his fault for calling the pot black, I have no sympathy for the kettle at all."I thought it was the pot that called the kettle black! So it's really all the fault of the kettle for not taking the pot to a racial discrimination tribunal when it had the outright audacity to call the kettle black in the first place. Personally, if I'd been the kettle, I'd have just smoked the pot and not worried about what colour it thought I was: But that's just me. | |||

If you do you will be surprised at the 'unholy' coalitions that are springing up between the ultra left (anti religion) and the ultra right (conservative religious) groups to curtail every ones freedom of actions and even thought. Just take a look at the American Families Association website and read their objectives (remember there are similar here but less open and above board). | |||

Well extreme left and extreme right are basically the same so I can believe what you are saying. But seriously, how are these debates impacting everyday life? Other than Kestrals might eventually shut (due to a council prude rather than the local church) | |||

I agree with what you say about being both polite and inclusive however I don't think that that has anything to do with being PC. To me it is neither polite or inclusive to hall someone up for the way they ask for their coffee to either have milk or not. That's just incredibly rude. All that being said I have to say that I wonder whether this story actually has any real truth in it and, if it does, whether the truth of the matter has more to do with finding out if people actually want milk, some other whitener, or non at all. I suspect that this is really a red herring thrown up by the anti-PC brigade but more fool the PC guys for jumping to its defence. It's really all just a storm in a tea cup (or coffee mug if you prefer). | |||

Other than Kestrals might eventually shut (due to a council prude rather than the local church)" Maybe because the council prudes can justify their stance because they are backed by the local clergy, feminist groups and the like who although they represent probably less than 10% of the electorate can wield power because they are organised. just a thought...  | |||
