*Manticore* 1,893 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Talking shite? The BBC have issued an apology over it FFS. That would suggest that it is deemed offensive! Why are you trying to argue otherwise? On a personal level I'm not that bothered by it but fact is describing a black person as coloured is taboo and you can moan all you want but that's just the way of it!Yes, talking shite.An apology is issued to get moaning bastards like you to shut the fuck up.People like you, who 'deem it offensive' then think it's some great point (so good it's worthy of an exclamation mark) that it's been 'deemed offensive'.Then ask why would somebody 'try to argue' with a great intellect like yourself.Just fuck off.You offend me.

*Manticore* 1,893 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Fear filled apologists!! You obviously have some kind of agenda here regarding the matter. I'm not part of the pc brigade but am aware of what's deemed correct now a days and was attempting to explain the thinking behind it!I've never heard of that organisation before and would be surprised if they still go by that name. I am struggling to understand why you deny there's an issue with using the term coloured when Alan Hansen has just been caught up in a shitstorm for using it!There you go again 'deemed correct' and 'attempting to explain'. You're 'surprised'. You're 'struggling to understand'.Work on educating yourself before others... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Manticore* 1,893 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 How has this ended in a fourteen pager?Calling someone 'coloured' is racist. Simple as that, no argument to be had for any normal person.Jeezo Abnormal person here.Care to tell me why calling somebody coloured is 'racist'.Not a lot to ask if it's so obvious.

*Manticore* 1,893 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Calling someone 'coloured' is racist.I don't think he's racist but it's simply something you can't say on the telly.Alright then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As papaguy says, there is no argument over the use of the word - you are just way out of touch and out your depth here.

papaguy51 912 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Alright then.I don't think Hansen is a racist.If he was saying this because he wanted to insult black people, then he'd be racist. He's saying it because that's just what people used to say.He needs to apologise first, then get with the times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's saying it because that's just what people used to say.He needs to apologise first, then get with the times.Of course he's not a racist. Well of course he isn't for using the word coloured, all he's done is offend some morons.But then he might well be racist for other reasons, I don't know the man. But ask around. There's some real whizzes on this thread who will unearth racism where nobody else would find it. Go them!And yes, he needs to apologise because some idiots are offended.
