The term "coloured"

Not exactly a racist term, but a sudaneese guy I lived with came out with this

"I've got brown hair, brown skin, brown eyes, brown lips. You white guys, you have black, brown, blonde, red hair. You have green, blue, brown eyes, you have pink lips and peach skin, and you guys call ME coloured"

That's actually a quote from a poem!! Heard it when I was younger and it's always stuck with me.

The original title was "Colour."

It was composed by Malcolm X.

COLOUR

When I was born, I was black.

When I grow up, I'm black.

When I'm ill, I'm black.

When I go out in the sun, I'm black.

When I'm cold, I'm black.

When I die, I'm black.

But you -

When you're born, you're pink.

When you grow up, you're white.

When you're ill, you're green.

When you go out in the sun, you go red.

When you're cold, you go blue.

When you die, you're purple.

And you have the nerve to call me coloured?

My son shed 7 used to say brown so I have taught him that the correct term is black. He has asked on many occasions y we say black when the skin colour is actually brown. I have just explained that it is just what we say and I'm not sure the reason. Can any1 tell me if there is a reason??

Tricky subject in this day and age. Lots of preferences are aired. Old, young, slim , very well endowed,bbc, bbw. Am sure no offence can be consrue'd from these terms and those excluded because the prefences are not met. Wanting black guys( there are quite a few) can get what they want by saying that and am sure there are a lot of proud black guys willing to be addressed as such.

Best words to use are white, black or Asian in my opinion, straight to the point and don't cause offence, it's when people start looking too much into not wanting to offend that causes problems I think. Too much pc bullshit eg not saying blackboard n whiteboard etc, it's silly...I'm Asian and would much rather someone just said the word Asian rather than trying to determine exactly what shade of brown I am! I understand some people will be offended by certain words but each individual is different but if u cause any offence by ur words to a certain individual then learn from it with that person n move on! This world=pc gone mad!

in refernece to the 'correct' term..

I stated in another thread..I think its pretty fucking horrible making people think their language to describe someone of a different ethnic descent is incorrect.

colored?

half-cast(if i want to look at that scientifically I might say well, myself, I'm cast in two lights...I'am therefore half-cast.....)

simple definitions, that have no malice intended..

ffs, some would say describing someone as a negro or having negro features could be offensive, but that IS the correct terminology

I find the issue with alot of people is some kind of 'empowerment' by making sure people call them as black, as if they are disrepecting their origins if called otherwise..

sorry, I live in a world where I have no ties, no boundaries..if someone describes me with no negativity(ooh strange word lol), i have no issue..

there is PC and there is 'PC'-how do u like your coffee?...'black?' or 'coloured?'

In regards to 'racist' words I think saying what a person actually is ie black, white is better but with old, young etc that's a different ball game altogether as it's so much easier to offend! Mature is my favourite word for the oldies! Ps I prefer a sexy milf or more mature woman! Haha! Bit of free marketing for myself!!!!

Whether people should or shouldn't be upset by terms such as half caste, negro or whatever isn't really the issue. It's evident that some are and some aren't. Some consider intent, others think it doesn't matter. The fact remains that some people find it off-putting, and while that remains the case, OP will have some issues attracting the black men that they're clearly fond of.

I agree completely with what ur saying and just gave my opinion on what I personally use. I don't think many black people would like being referred to as negros in my opinion but then I've never used it to know incase I do offend anyone. I definitely know I don't appreciate the word paki as I've been called before so from my own experience I say less is more when it comes to putting people in 'boxes'...I'm not here to give anyone facts but simply voicing my opinion. The world has gone pc mad that is the only fact I have to put out on this thread!

Yup, that's exactly it... Differing interpretations of words often cause misunderstandings between people, even when intentions are pure. It is what it is, until people decide otherwise. With issues neighbouring race, it tends to take a little longer.

I believe this has been an ongoing discussion in the forums for way to long!! Just my opinion! Some people will have their own preferences, hell I have my own, but if said people are on here asking for the "correct term" to call someone then maybe just maybe they shouldn't be trying to meet just yet. Thing is if I don't something someone calls me, I will politely let them know!

People make assumptions about me daily, it's more annoying than anything when I'm asked if I would be with a "white cock" or my favorite " you probably wouldn't want to be with me because you prefer bbc" wtf so annoying and where did they even see that lol

I'm on a sex site for goodness sakes if my profile doesn't state I will only have sex with (fill in the blank) then don't assume lol

My Mam uses the term "coloured" to refer to black or Asian folk, it's how she was brought up. I'd like to say she's not racist, but she is - again, it's to do with her upbringing and early influences. I've mentioned it to her on occasion but now tend to leave her to it.

I don't know if it's me, but when I see the American spelling 'colored' I'm reminded of pictures showing segregated areas in the US, but not so much when I see coloured used

Blimey, I can remember when calling someone black was supposed to be insulting. Coloured was the word used and I only found out in recent years that was no longer acceptable.

I would think that people who live in urban areas and work in multi-cultural places will be up to speed on PC terms, but our home and worklife don't see us meeting many non whites at all. In fact this life style has probably increased that

But if people don't know, it's not ignorance, thy just haven't learnt yet.

I don't see colour of skin particularly until someone starts shouting about it in the forums eg. why wont people meet Asians, type threads and they draw attention to themselves in a very unattractive way.

"The original title was "Colour."

COLOUR

When I was born, I was black.

When I grow up, I'm black.

When I'm ill, I'm black.

When I go out in the sun, I'm black.

When I'm cold, I'm black.

When I die, I'm black.

But you -

When you're born, you're pink.

When you grow up, you're white.

When you're ill, you're green.

When you go out in the sun, you go red.

When you're cold, you go blue.

When you die, you're purple.

And you have the nerve to call me coloured?

A guy I used to work with years ago quoted this poem to me and although I couldn't remember the exact words, the sentiment stuck with me. I never used the word 'coloured' myself anyway but we were having a very in depth conversation about racism (whilst flipping burgers!) and he hated the term coloured, which I can understand...I don't really like the word caucasian. Don't know why but it's just not a word I've ever liked, and to me the two go hand in hand.

Thought I would throw in a funny story from when my daughter was only 2 or 3.

We parked at a supermarket & a black/coloured family parked next to us.

My daughter apparently had never noticed "coloured" people before & was clearly amazed.

Being very young she also got confused. She stood right in front of the father, pointing & said to me "look daddy that man is YELLOW".

The guy was clearly surprised (I dont think he had ever been called that before!!) & I was very embarrassed.

Funny though.

The reason it IS considered offensive is because the word 'caste' derives from a latin word meaning 'pure', implying that the pureness of the white race had been half diluted. I'm sure most people haven't even considered the origin of the term, and don't mean any offence, but it is pretty offensive when you think about it, so mixed race is undoubtedly a better choice.

We had a South African lodger a while back. She left their because she was 'coloured', not black and not white. Apparently the term their refers to mixed parentage, she had dutch ancestors on her mother's side, and mixed Zulu / Angolan on her fathers side. As a result, after apartheid finished, she would get abuse from white and black South Africans.

We just called her Prescilla.

"in refernece to the 'correct' term..

I stated in another thread..I think its pretty fucking horrible making people think their language to describe someone of a different ethnic descent is incorrect.

colored?

half-cast(if i want to look at that scientifically I might say well, myself, I'm cast in two lights...I'am therefore half-cast.....)

simple definitions, that have no malice intended..

ffs, some would say describing someone as a negro or having negro features could be offensive, but that IS the correct terminology

I find the issue with alot of people is some kind of 'empowerment' by making sure people call them as black, as if they are disrepecting their origins if called otherwise..

sorry, I live in a world where I have no ties, no boundaries..if someone describes me with no negativity(ooh strange word lol), i have no issue..

there is PC and there is 'PC'-how do u like your coffee?...'black?' or 'coloured?'

well the people looking and not responding arent very open minded....with communication comes understanding...another simple FACT

bypassing everything u said, I like ur tits

U could've just told me that without making me reply!! Haha! But thanks, so do I, we have hours of fun together! "
the correct term is breasts tits can be very offensive lol but they are fantastic

I know it's an outdated term, but even in the context you state I can't see the offence? You assume it's the white race that's been 'diluted' and is therefore not pure. Surely if you are not of purely african, caucasian, hispanic or any specific descent then by definition you are half 'caste'. I don't think the problem is with the word, but how it's use has become used.

The question of purity was a concern of white racist and played a big part in what rights you used to have and how you was treated as if your less of a person if your not white, so that's why the term half caste is offensive. It's a matter of perception, I'm sure most ladies would take offence if I referred to women as bitches,hoes,slags and sluts ( unless I'm pulling their hair and slapping their ass at the time lol )

but most other names ie "negro, black, coloured, aren't really offensive just a matter of personal preference, I prefer to be referred to as a black man but if someone called me coloured I wouldn't be that offended I'd just think they was old school.

I think Aslong as the person isn't trying to cause offence then you shouldn't try and find offence, tell them what you prefer if you have to and move on, life's too short !

"Best words to use are white, black or Asian in my opinion, straight to the point and don't cause offence, it's when people start looking too much into not wanting to offend that causes problems I think. Too much pc bullshit eg not saying blackboard n whiteboard etc, it's silly...I'm Asian and would much rather someone just said the word Asian rather than trying to determine exactly what shade of brown I am! I understand some people will be offended by certain words but each individual is different but if u cause any offence by ur words to a certain individual then learn from it with that person n move on! This world=pc gone mad!"

The nonsense about blackboards is just that - nonsense. It was never a 'banned' word. Another Dailly Mail myth to undermine pc and make it seem ridiculous. It's also handy to attack pc if you want to keep on using offensive terms.

Because you don't have a history of discrimination behind you due to your race and you live in a world dominated and still ruled by White people - Parliament isn't known as a multicultural bedrock. When you have been consistently put down for the colour of your skin, abused in the street daily, had to suffer constant prejudice because you are white and prevented from getting jobs then it might feel different when being called 'whitey'.

Yes i find that offensive as I have a mixed race grand daughter & I see the the hassle she sometimes gets.

My great grand father was black & my mothers side Mediterranean, I heard from an early age from family how the educationally challenged would result to insults on cultures & colours of people they knew nothing about.

Things have luckily got better over time & racism reduced to a fraction of the ignorance once known.

Context is everything. Of course it is racist!!! He chose to make a point of his colour. The insult was offensive enough but he made the choice to strengthen it by throwing in a word about his skin colour because to his mind the very fact of his being black was a negative anyway.

Not sure there is actually is a reason. The term 'black' as I understand it, was a political term from the U.S back in the 60's or 70's and which has replaced 'negro'. But then a lot of African Americans also use the term 'African American' to describe themselves as well as 'black'.

We can be too hung up on terms, when the key point is to try to not needlessly offend someone.

Context is everything, as I pointed out in my previous post, A word can be loaded with additional meaning depending upon the phrase, sentence or comment it appears in. I think the key is 'intent'. If there is intent to be offensive by pointing out a person's race then, as any intelligent person knows, it is a racist comment.

Being pc is not rubbish - if it were not for pc there would be more people happily and openly using words like 'nigger' and 'paki'. For me, pc is just using your common sense not to say things which will offend others. Nothing wrong with that in a civilised country.

Well that's a specious argument. The term 'paki' derives from the 70s when we had an influx of Commonwealth immigrants. It was mainly used by extreme right wing groups like the National Front.

So, as I have said twice previously, it's all down to context. The origination of the term was racist just as the origination of the term 'nigger' was. Therefore it was and still is an offensive racist insult designed and used for precisely that purpose and not merely a shortening of a word.

I recall as a child in the 70s seeing graffiti saying, 'Pakis go home' and signed NF.

Hence it is not pc extremism at all but anti-racism. And if anyone wishes to label me as such I would wear that label with pride.

Without wishing to labour the point, just because a word is adopted by racists doesn't mean it's the wrong word to use and should be abolished from that day forward.

If someone disliked the Scottish race for example and said things like Scots Go Home etc, it wouldn't alter the fact that a Scot is someone from Scotland and should still be regarded as such.

See the similarity there, Scotland (Scotstan), Pakistan (Pakiland).

Whether the term Scot or Paki is used in a general or derogatory manner is immaterial, either way it is the correct term to use.
