/// Your mind is a very strange place AOG. Linking being in the RAF with being proud to be a certain colour is wierd in the extreme. ///
It is not I who is weird (correct spelling) or who's mind is a very strange place, those issues can be placed firmly at your door, because if you had read the continuing posts you would not have failed to see the link.
But then you only see what you wish to see where I am concerned even if the facts prove otherwise.
/// I would have thought that 99.9% of people would be proud to be whatever colour they are. ///
I would thought that would be obvious, but apparently not proven by the lack of those proud to announce the fact, as I have done.

/// Read Jims post after mine. I was wrong and so were you. ///
Do you mean this?
/// Maybe I'm "lucky" to be
white ///
Oh dear, is he suggesting that he would have been unlucky to be born Black?
I can now see how easily it is to twist words, I wonder who it is that I am picking up these bad habits from, I must be mixing with some experts on such matters, here on AB.

"/// Maybe I'm "lucky" to be

I'm suggesting that maybe being born in a country when you have certain physical characteristics put you in a minority that historically, and even currently to an extent, suffers from implicit and explicit discrimination could be a bit "unlucky", yes -- and, equally, the converse might make one lucky-ish. Not sure how you think it would be shocking to "twist" my words to say almost exactly what I was implying. But note the "may" and "could" in the above; I was speculating.
At any rate I am not "proud" to be white. I don't see why anyone should be proud of such things. Nor should they be ashamed, either.
