So thanks to NW you can't pretend you don't know.You are ignorant if you only think there are black or white people in the world. I would never class an Indian as a black man. I don’t think an Indian would himself either.
Been avoiding this thread but yes, black is the generally considered acceptable term in Britain in the 21st century... as far as I was aware! Definitely not brown, can define by other ways, but not brown. Indian-Asian, Chinese-Asian etc... but not brown.
Or 'person of colour' is a current term to try and give a load of minorities a sense of some kind of power and influence, rather than making them small disparate groups.
Not brown though, not brown. Sorry mart, often have sympathy with your posts, and maybe being in Germany means you're behind the times and use of language in the UK (tbf I might be too, so apologies if I've got this wrong in 2018!). As a white Briton I'd be very reluctant to call someone brown.
Anyway, carry on! But how about you all get back to the EU rather than this digression, where you're all bound to fall out!
Well somehow money flows into defence budgets while the population starves. Foreign aid helps maintain the people...while their coffers fund defenceWhat are you on about now? There are various forms of foreign aid. It depends on how it is given and how it is controlled. Are you saying foreign aid to Africa will be used to buy tanks to invade us? Or to finance terrorism against us? Do you have examples? There are no doubt corrupt people who play the system, but that is not saying that aid overall is not helping stabilize regions. Terrorism is sponsored by our wealthy allies, they don’t need foreign aid.
How the fuck did you get to this? I informed him he was us I g the wrong terms. He ignored me.We have already gone over it several times before. The fact you're trying to insinuate that Mart is a racist is clutching at straws and pretty low.

This thread became a joke ages ago. It has now become a bad joke. Well done.
The modern world!A person of colour?
The modern world!
Became the main term, then it was considered to possibly have racial undertones itself, so receded a little.
How to 'classify' race is a dangerous subject, so I'm just clarifying its my awareness of the UK at present. Not going to go any deeper than that, sure somebody will pop up and tell me I'm wrong!
There is the odd racist view turns up on this boardbut there are also some people I'm pretty sure are not racist, who either through age or whatever, use slightly racist terms (not talking this thread!).
Keeping up with the world and its language isn't always easy!
Am I?You're definitely off your head.
Interestingly...blind people don't refer to the colour of anyone's skin, how good looking they are, their shape nor size. Doesn't seem to cause them any problems nor offend anyone.The modern world!

It's a relatively modern term!I'd say that's not really an acceptable term, unless we are all people of colourIt could just be different things were/being acceptable to different generations though.
Am I?
I tried to explain that it is black or white. Any other term can be seen as derogatory or even racist. Look at the replies Including your own.
Are you disagreeing that this thread has become an absolute joke?
Is saying a term can be seen as racist the same as suggesting somebody is racist?It's pretty low to try and claim Mart is racist when he clearly isn't.
So where have I said that? I am sick of a few on here trying to twist my words.It's pretty low to try and claim Mart is racist when he clearly isn't.
Tony made the post to insult a fellow poster without knowing his skin colour.
Do you personally know Mart or just from on here SB ?It's pretty low to try and claim Mart is racist when he clearly isn't.
Can't blame you. All that happens is if someone doesn't agree with what you say they try to twist your words constantly. Then it ends up being about anything but what it should be.Is saying a term can be seen as racist the same as suggesting somebody is racist?
tbf I've been hiding from this thread (can't imagine why) so don't know the earlier tit for tat. Please don't fill me in, either
Don't worry. SB accuses me of saying people are racist when I haven't. But he defends someone who has used racist terms and refuses to listen when told what he is saying. Work that one out.Do you personally know Mart or just from on here SB ?
Try again. You have admitted that it is a racist derogatory remark. Yet you make out that it is OK to use the term. Yet you won't explain why.
Did you think about the test I said about? Would you use it in front of a black man twice your size you didn't know?
If you wouldn't it is a term you shouldn't use at any time.
I am sick of a few on here trying to twist my words.

Why don't you ask Tony. Because you both normally agree on everything. Or the other one shuts up and doesn't question what is said.
One of you makes out that they are racist. The other makes out as though it isn't. Yet not the slightest debate between the two of you on the subject. What a surprise.
Take it you you're a Sun reader Tony....Giggle Giggle..
They are trying to make you or anyone else to slip up and say something which they can jump on and say they're right....Typical lefties i'm afraid.Don't worry. SB accuses me of saying people are racist when I haven't. But he defends someone who has used racist terms and refuses to listen when told what he is saying. Work that one out.
It's well-known that lefty is a perjorative term here, used by a bunch of far righties.Typical lefties? @Astute is probably more to the left than Mart.
Well that's where the report came from..No... giggle giggle
Yes I know. It says so in the article by the BBC that I linked. Presumably you do read the Sun then... giggle giggle.Well that's where the report came from..
Hurry up and 'like' this Mart.....3 in a rowIt's well-known that lefty is a perjorative term here, used by a bunch of far righties.
Of course when people generalise in return, they spectacularly miss the point... just like a righty would.
Nah....Not since the do-gooders got page 3 banned !!Yes I know. It says so in the article by the BBC that I linked. Presumably you do read the Sun then... giggle giggle.
Nah....Not since the do-gooders got page 3 banned !!
I'm out. And out for good. They have their way.Ok Gents this thread is getting silly now, getting absolutely no where. The leavers and remainers are never going to agree but to get to get some sort of perspective on all of this how about we all state 3 things why we should remain or leave then perhaps we can have a proper discussion.
So thanks to NW you can't pretend you don't know.
But did you really think my daughter would call herself black when she isn't.
What it has proved to me is you won't listen whatever. So what is the use of trying to have a debate with someone who won't even listen on something as serious as racism?
AfD got over 12% Of the vote. If one of them got 8% of the vote then AfD got 50% more of the vote. Nothing wrong with my maths.
