[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] My parents often use the word 'coloured' which I don't like. ON the other hand, some people get offended by different things. At university, most people don't mind, mainly because it just never comes up as an issue, when everything is so diverse (it IS in London). On the other hand, I've known people to get offended at 'black', 'brown', 'half-cast' and so I generally try and steer clear. On the other hand, I don't really like over the top political corectness, like Afro-Caribean, but if someone wants to refer to themselves that way, that is their right. Still, in Romford I do hear some appaling racisim. Usually said in quiet tones between whites though, rather than shouted out loud. Romford is close enough to Londond that its hard to be openly racist without a major fight. The thing is, often people who don't consider themselves racist will still have subconscius thoughts along those lines. Walking back to the station from my uni late at night, I saw a large group of black youths walking down the street ahead of me. I was worried, probably more so than if they were white. Racism exists on both sides. You'll know when its conquered when people don't even consider it. When people treat skin colour in the same way as eye colour. A difference, but nothing to talk about. Apologies for sounding like that well known parish mag, the Daily Mail too. [IMG]http://solareclipse.net/Forums/smile.gif[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
