I don't want to cause a "Race Debate"... I'm just saying!
I find it funny and rather ironic, when I still hear White people describing Black people as "Coloured"...
I personally prefer to be called Black, English or Jamaican/Guyanese/African... I'd even accept Brown.
I find "Coloured" is very Primitive... With my dry "dark" sense of humour I find it funny that in actual fact, I don't go red when it's hot or blue when it's cold, green when I'm sick, or purple if I'm bruised, etc

The amount of "un-pc" things I say is ridiculous and constantly find myself having to think about what I can and can't say... Lol
So I say what I said with a pinch of salt. I find it funny more than anything else.
I loving called a friend of mine a "Spastic" literally a few days ago...  |

I don't use any specific term, I generally look at a person regardless of race/gender/sexuality etc.
I think the second you take skin colour into account it becomes racist even if you're trying to be polite.
And I'm not slating here. I think Black pride is a great message, damn right a black person should be able to be proud of their culture and heritage. |

"Do people still say ‘coloured’?  "
Yes they do...Alan Hanson did on MOTD for one.
My 85yo Father stills refers to ‘Coloured’ people, although it’s not meant to be disrespectful in any shape or form. It harks back to the ‘70’s when ‘Black’ wasn’t accepted and ‘Coloued’ was. The ‘Coloured’ Community then strayed to refer to their Black culture, and things moved on. He’s just set in his ways as I expect many of his generation are. |

I hate being referred to as "coloured", and yes, it still does happen unfortunately. Great lyric from a song "I don't change colour but they call me a coloured man" |

I definitely think it's a generation thing. My parents still say coloured and it fucking cracks me up. I'm expecting to see someone who's been drawn with bloody Crayola crayons the way they say it. |

I say the guy over there with the brown hair, the blue jacket, guy with the glasses, the one with the beard. Basically anything apart from mention the colour of their skin in fear of upsetting anyone  |

On the contrary I think it's natural see Colour and I like people to see me as a Black man and see my Culture, just like I'd expect any other Race be recognised and respected.
I think the problem is when we turn a blind eye and try to ignore each others differences. It's our differences that make us special, and trying to understand each other and accept our unique individuality.
I think the Races need to talk more openly without anyone getting emotional, and claiming the other is being "Racist"

My nan used to refer to anyone nonwhite as 'tinted'... bless her she didn't have a racist bone in her body.
Our daughter in law is mixed Jamaican and British, we don't really see her colour, we see her. My sons father refers to her (on polite days) as 'half cast', I detest his racial prejudice... if our son knew they way his dad spoke about her I suspect he would disown his dad forever. |
