bendydick sherlock got in trouble for calling people "coloured" http://www.theguardian.com/culture/2015/jan/26/benedict-cumberbatch-apologises-after-calling-black-actors-coloured benadicto cumbatch posted:I’m devastated to have caused offence by using this outmoded terminology. I offer my sincere apologies. I make no excuse for my being an idiot and know the damage is done. A spokesperson for the anti-racism charity Show Racism the Red Card posted:Benedict Cumberbatch has highlighted a very important issue within the entertainment industry and within society. In doing so, he has also inadvertently highlighted the issue of appropriate terminology and the evolution of language. i didn't know coloured people was a bad term. i'm worried that i'm not evolving with language. i made this thread so you could please tell me other evolutionarily eradicated words, outside of the obvious ones, i could lose my oscar nominations over

Do middle eastern and latino people count as colored people as well, or do they only fall under the umbrella phrase "people of color"?

What's hilarious is to watch super sensitive liberals in America try to describe Black people who aren't Americans.

i still don't actually get it but I think people are offended that there's a word for collective non-whites that isn't "non-white" also CISMALES DID 9-11 posted:dude looks like an alien wearing human skin this but if that alien was really frustrated all the time

I would be confused if I was referring to a black person outside of America in a formal situation and I couldn't call them "African American". I would probably just slip up and use the n word.

social vegan posted:i still don't actually get it but I think people are offended that there's a word for collective non-whites that isn't "non-white" no you're either misunderstanding or being obtuse. it's the same as you cant call a grown black man boy without it having negative connotations. also you can't really say what ppl have the right to be offended about. if black ppl say they're offended by coloured, we should accept that and be aware that by using that term, we might offend someone. you don't have to give a poo poo about offending ppl, but you should be aware when and if you're doing so. otherwise you're just ignorant.

I would say that calling a black person "boy" is literally the worst thing you can possibly say, even worse than the n word or anything else you could come up with. Calling a black person "boy" is only slightly less worse than literally lynching them.

dickface cumberbatch made a legit mistake since he didn't actually want to offend black ppl yet used a loaded term to describe them. he realised his mistake and admitted his ignorance.

Applewhite posted:What's hilarious is to watch super sensitive liberals in America try to describe Black people who aren't Americans. I remember when they were saying "America imprisons more African-Americans now than Apartheid South Africa did" and I'm like "yeah no poo poo there's like hardly no African-Americans over there they're all African-Africans." Also America puts a lot of people behind bars period. Number one in prisoners USA USA.

It's so racist you can call a white person "boy" and they'll get mad because just for a brief moment they can sort of understand racism and they don't like it.
