In my view it's just to confuse woke white people. Keep changing the description to keep ol whitey on his toes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_the_m Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 In the USA during segregation there would be lots of signs along the lines of "no colored allowed" etc, so that term carries quite a stigma there. How much stigma is attached to it currently in the UK, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In exactly the same way nobody used the phrase "half cast" anymore, well maybe someones 90 year old gran still does. I know a few what use the term "half cast" myself included occasionaly. If a person is black then i use the term black, not coloured! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
