FA have been quick to put out a statement, saying he's used it due to his time working in the US, where the term 'people of colour' is accepted.Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. He's in trouble now.
Collymore having a day off from threatening people on twitter, is he?Not having a very good day, bit of a dinosaur
Given that the whole context of the clip is that he’s clearly speaking out in support of LGBT and rooting out homophobia and other formers of bigotry, I think it’s a bit of a stretch to perceive ill intent and want to cancel the bloke for errrr anti-gay bigotry.The 2nd one, is he not just implying it’s a life choice to come out as gay, rather than saying folk choose to be gay?
Not surprised to see Collymore attempting to whip up a frenzy. He blocked me on twitter for pointing out his fondness for threatening people who had different opinions to him.Given that the whole context of the clip is that he’s clearly speaking out in support of LGBT and rooting out homophobia and other formers of bigotry, I think it’s a bit of a stretch to perceive ill intent and want to cancel the bloke for errrr anti-gay bigotry.
I actually thought that was currently the ‘acceptable’ term. I genuinely don’t even know anymore.There was a black lass on CNN, as well as her white colleague saying woman of colour in reference to the Vice President Elect - surely not an issue?

He shoulda been sacked for his secret meetings with the big six. All the rest is a mere sideshow. The mans untrustworthy and an idiot taboot. Anyone in public life thinking they can get away with owt these days are obviously dinosaurs and need retiring ASAP.
It’s not just a generational thing, I’m still a long way off 50, and based on this thread, I can honestly say that I haven’t got a clue which terms are currently seen as acceptable or not.This.
It's hard to keep up.
One week black is OK. Next week it isn't. Then it changes back.
I was speaking to the police about something I'd witnessed, I had to ask them if 'mixed race' was still an acceptable term.
Apparently not, it's now 'blended heritage' but I hadn't seen the memo.
It's probably changed again since.
Both.That was the EFL CEO wasn't it?
