So What Is Acceptable?

[david small]

I’ve recently had a post removed for using the word coloured. Apparently it was racist. I used the phrase coloured brethren. So what is de rigueur, nowadays?

[Peter Pedant]

yeah I vote against coloured brethren
patronising and racist

afro-caribbeans is OK ( if they are)

do you want to be called a cousin of Tommy Robinson,
a brother of Marine LePen
or that your father was probably one of the founders of KuKluxKlan?

no I wouldnt

I repeat, how do you know why the post was removed?

LOL, I find this post hilarious. I can tell from miles away ( without a telescope ) that 99.9 % of posters on this thread have never worked on a factory floor ( pretty much like 99.9 % of posters in the news section on the whole ).

[THECORBYLOON]

Since this site isn't a factory floor, what you or some others consider to be acceptable on a factory floor is not relevant.

Oh dear, isn't it LOL, get back to planet earth instead of planet woke, matey.

Why not just say "non-white"? Are you sure your post was removed for saying "coloured"? Perhaps it was the context in which the word was used that was deemed unacceptable.

I used to vote labour until, idiots like Corbyn was in charge ( mickey mouse would have beaten a idiot like him in a GE, oh hang on ! ), I'd like to think that one day I might vote labour again.
