I did tell some of my co-workers some who are black the story, I have to be honest,out of all my work mates , they went metal when I told them.They thought this guy had gone one step too far, even saying that that the country had gone PC mad.

Is this a wind up?

why do we do this?

spot on load of crap the pc terms are black white etc, they are there on back of government forms to state ethnic origin, etc.

typically saying coloureds that will wind folks up as more throw back to segregation
in the US.

other frown words are half cast, preferred replacement mixed race or dual heritage.

hey and i do know i was best man to my mate of black caribean stock, born in england
married a mixed race chineese/'english' bride. their kids are our god children and vice
versa.

think some anti anti discrimination types started they shite about can ' have black
boards / coffee etc etc. probably paid by some lunny left council in thatchers day
to wind us all up.

no normal person of any skin colour pigment leve would get upset.

lets face it its only when you start sterotyping, and prefixing wiht bloody or stronger
terms that it becomes racist.

good nignt

..., it only represents the views of one man. As Plank says these exagerations are used Daily Mail style to stir up the whole issue, to keep the topic going. You'd need to query the motives of people who post this sort of innuendo.

I've been in hospital today and been looked after by a team which included Polish, Spanish, English and Pakistani (Muslim) staff. I'm very pleased they are here...

I can assure you that I am not in a habit of lieing, this incident did happen.My point by posting it that it just shows you that some people take PC a little too far,I am far from racist, and take offence to anyone that even suggest it,. To quote one of my black work mates, the guy that pulled me has a chip on his shoulder the size of an oak tree.

I apologise for assuming that, but your initial posting did give the impressiong this was your understandiong of the use of rthe term 'black' and that the country is 'going down the pan fast' because we can't call black coffe black anymore.

If it is a thread about one person who has no idea about such things and his making his own rules up as he goes along then it might have been better to start that way instead of imlying the whole countye was going down the pan when in fact this was just the opinion of one misguided person.

So how about, 'I met this right pillock lasst week, told me I couldn't order black coffee as it would be racist (coffeist lol), don't some people come out with some stupid things', what do you think?

[Deleted account DD]

I cant believe it actually happened, are you sure it wasnt a dream?

I work for a set up that observes pc'ness to the extreme and Im pretty certain he would have been told to go away

[tony46]

yes, your right, i probably overreacted a bit, but then that's me all over

[tony46]

Not just you Plank I could say that I did as well,it was just that it got me so mad, anyway all over lol, chat again soon

For what its worth I do think that the nutters are taking over the asylum...
It seems to me that if you are English you cant say that youre English anymore, same goes for the Scots and the Welsh (to some degree). Yet EVERYONE who lives on this island is British... so whats the problem you may say. Well my gripe is that I read the papers and watch the telly and keep hearing "BUY BRITISH"
I go to the supermarket and I can buy Scottish potatoes Scottish Beef, welsh lamb, french wine, italian tomatoes, new zealand lamb, line caught norwegian cod,
Alaskan Salmon, German Bratwursts, but can I buy anything "english" NO
I can find BRITISH potatoes and BRITISH PORK AND LAMB but cant find "ENGLISH PORK" etc etc now when I was a kid you could buy English pork at the local butchers so why cant supermarkets label food "ENGLISH" but then again its all gone gaga now I am now of the opinion that we should take up Briggies offer and sit down with a digestive and weep in out tinted tea, I just hope briggie has STANDARD digestives as if they have a chocolate coating we are in the shite as the choice will be MILK OR DARK.
Think I will have a hob nob oh god that will upset the gays hihi Just a cuppa please pete as Im watching me waistline (oh shit upset the obese now )
See my point its all in the words and its time we stopped taking note of individual words and looked at the full context of the statement being made.Its all this PC crap that has ruined this country and its time we did as the french have done and said to the world yes, yes we will comply and then turned round and carried on doing what they want. Is this country still the best in the world, well alot of people are rushing to be here but are they coming for the right reasons??? I will leave that last thought with you....
Well I fell better now ......

i don't think it does mate, the only people who think PC has gone mad appear to be the people who say 'PC has gone mad' everyone else just gets on with things.

As i see, it and my profession is closely linked to these issues, all things PC including, sexuality, race, gender, ability etc have gone full circle and become more sensible by the day the bad old 'pc gone mad' days are a thing of the past.
