Interracial

That still doesn’t really convince me or give me any more comfort to invite you to dinner. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Don’t worry, my friend. I can only envy you. Fortunately, I have found a wonderful wife and Asian remains a fetish of mine. They simply have features that are extremely attractive to me that stir the imagination :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I hope I am still on the list of guests :innocent: :joy:?

Haha I noticed you gave me a face palm after I did it to yours. Tit-for-tat- well-played.
I agree that the world has gone PC-mad and it is infuriating as hell, but comparing coloured people to housewife shows how out of touch some people are.

Then that means you are a far better person than me it seems. :wink:

Nope, it just means you are ignorant about its history and how it became antiquated long before the 90s PC movement. Here’s a snippet from an article about a journalist who used the term and later apologised. Maybe a relative of yours. :wink: Keep using the term for all I care. That’s on you ultimately.

The logic behind this is that it’s inappropriate to call black people “colored” in 2016, and in itself, it is. For most of the 20th century, the polite terms were “colored” and “Negro.”

However, in the 1960s, many black leaders came to see those terms as accreted with implications of black people’s horrific treatment under slavery and Jim Crow. As a result, Malcolm X, for example, preferred “black,” and by the time I was a conscious person in the early '70s, black had long erased “colored” and “Negro.”

Well aware of that but thanks for the ‘ignorant’ reference. :slight_smile:

I grew up in the 80s and not one of my many black, coloured, or whatever friends took any offence to any used term as none of those terms was meant with malice nor was it here.

Sadly, some jump on others in some righteous crusade and as I said it many times causes more issues with racism than the intended message. Another point is that people are so afraid of saying the wrong thing in today’s society that it’s getting ridiculous. I do get your point and it is respected as such, it doesn’t, however, fit in with my friends who I grew up and also find it crazy in today’s PC world.

You don’t know me but I haven’t got a racist bone in my body and I will campaign against this sick injustice as I have done all my life, in my own country of the UK and even more so here in Poland where it is more important to do so. :slight_smile:

Nobody is walking around saying this or calling anyone a honky. We are in 2022. Easily could’ve used diversity, Black, Asian, Hispanic, or whatever.

I would never come here calling anyone a Honky, as I am sure it would trigger the s__t out of some people. PC world has gone nuts my ass.

The last time I checked, white was a color, are you considered colored?

If you wish, as I wouldn’t get so triggered over it and you can call me whatever you desire as I do not take things so personally nor do my friends. And it seems to me that you are making this a racist issue, not me.

I have made an edit for the more sensitive people here, although I had no intention nor malicus intent whasoever.

I beg to differ there a copious amounts of fetish sites making their bread & butter from hair asses such as yours. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Yes exactly, this is now a celebrated way to call non-Caucasian people. Personally, though as person of mixed ethnicities I find it a bit offensive. It sounds too similar to being called a colored person which at least where I live is borderline offensive/racist…

I mean if you want to get technical white is the absence of all color.

Then, we can say the same about black!

Touche! :+1:

I by no means am a sensitive person and you are more than welcome to use that term if you wish. However, be aware that using that term will cause you to be viewed as ignorant by many people in western countries.

Know the difference between being sensitive and getting yo ass checked. What you may consider acceptable, others don’t! You know this, LEADER!

You love correcting people’s behavior and preaching about respect, but the minute you are, people are sensitive!

Did you really have to phrase it that way? Now you are coming off as a bit of a jerk.

I was only trying to share a bit off information with my friend, who I know has a good heart and means well. :smiling_face:

I don’t pussy foot, or fluff anything, as others may. People say a lot and put it off as diplomatic, still stings the same. I just say it as it is.

BTW, I’d appreciate you call me an asshole next time :rofl:. Jerk is not what you really wanted to use.

:beers:

This comes from USA, I’m almost sure. There race is something that is alot more imortant, you see liberals talking about it just as much as concervatives. It’s not really a charged word there, as it is here. And to be fair, “race” it’s also pretty much the only thing that devides the population in USA. You can say that race=ethnicity, there. Latinos and Afro-Americans, for example. Here in Europe, however, it is completely pointless to talk about race. We are not devided by race. You can’t see if someone is Valonian or Catalan. Our ethnicities are based on language, culture and religion.

So, in Europe when applying for a job, is it not normal for companies to ask about your ethnic origin? Or is that isolated in America, according to your assessment.
