What difference does it make if you know someone black on how to speak to someone it’s irrelavant what colour they are,coloured applies to anyone was a Chinese person refered to as coloured aswell? I agree with people from the northeast struggle prob because the fact it was such a racist place in the past and it’s hard to get out of bad habits that have been past down the generations

Nonsense

Why the need to call them anything though? Why not just their name? Do we go around saying "oh there's white Mick or pale peter?"

I totally agree to a certain extent .However to describe someone by their skin colour shouldn’t be something to skirt round when it’s their obvious feature .To mock them for it and use it as a tool to belittle them in anyway is a low thing to do .

People in the north east, 50 years since people started the whole "let's try not to be racist" project, still struggling with what you can say to black people

Tbf, there's not that many black people in the NE to practise on.

Exactly, lets have links to all the race riots, lynchings and gun and knife crimes then.

First race riots in the country were in South Shields actually.

I work d for a big us firm for 6 years and their Head if Diversity used the term ‘people of colour’ which just sounded f***ing appalling.

Some people are so terrified of causing offence

If someone wants to take offence they will, whatever is said.

If I inadvertently said the wrong word I would hope the person I was speaking to would have the good sense to point it out without taking offence. I wouldn't have intended to offend. If they took the grown up approach and mentioned my "error" I would accept it. If they start screaming and shouting RACIST!!! I'll just tell them to fck off and see if they find that offensive.

Have they had any complaints? All my black mates laugh their arses off when white people get all offended over shit like this. One of them particularly enjoys seeing how he can wind people up. He knows how petrified anyone is seen to be racist that he actively plays on it!

I used to work with one black lad who used to rip the loss out of the new lad at work .
"Unlucky lad, you've got to work with the nigger", " I'm the unluckiest bloke I know, the only nigger in the world with a tiny cock"

He used to come out with loads of them just for the reaction

My wife (no) is ethnically Indian and frequently refers to herself as the p*ki. With one of her best friends who actually is of Pakistani descent, part of their epic bantz is to trade Hindu nationalist Vs Muslim radical related ethnic slurs.

I can't say any of that shit.

Somehow we all get by.

Now this is slightly non-intuitive.

Calling people ‘coloured’ as in ‘that coloured lass’ used to be the (seemingly) polite way to refer to usually Blacks but also assorted other non-Whites. It fell out of favour a long time ago, I would guess partly as a result of the aforementioned James Brown song and rallying cry, as Black people ‘took ownership’ of ‘Black’ and rejected ‘coloured’, and partly due to the use of ‘coloured’ in Apartheid era South Africa to refer to anyone who was neither Black nor White but still regarded as at best a second class citizen and at worse subhuman (but slightly ahead of Black!)

Anyway similar to AIM - the American Indian Movement (they now prefer their own term ‘Native American’ rather than the term supplied by lost Europeans) the NAACP is stuck with an outdated moniker within their title. Somehow ‘people of colour’ is still seemingly an acceptable term to describe anyone of a non-Anglo-European ancestry, but calling an individual or a group ‘coloured’ is frowned upon.

Mind, I still don’t buy the argument that older generations can’t cope with this. They’ve lived through the turmoil of industrial strife and power cuts in the seventies, currency decimalisation, entering the common market (and soon leaving!), TV expanding from three channels to three hundred, mobile phones, computerisation and modernisation of almost everything, changing from gallons of petrol to litres, endless adjustments in the traffic system around the town, and the demise of Binns, Joblings and the Black and White Minstrels show on a Saturday night. If they can’t cope with adjusting their vocabulary slightly for the benefit and comfort of the inevitable (but still gradual) addition of non-White people to northeast society then they’re taking up too much space on the planet and it’s time for them to shuffle off.

Mind, James Brown also referred to himself as a "bad mother". Whether Karen Matthews took offence years later is unknown

My old dad used that term as did a lot of others around where I grew up......but not for any one of a different colour skin......around where we lived it was used as a term for idiots / people who couldn't do their jobs etc......" what a right N*g N*g he is " etc.

One of the regular callers, bit eccentric and rambles on in a care in the community way.

I thought radio stations had a 7 second delay on calls in case of swearing, etc. If they don't they will now.
I don't listen to the station this thread is about but there was a caller called john with a gruff old voice who rang Metro and more lately BBC newcastle after every game. He didn't go to games but he was very vocal about the team and seemed passionate. He didn't care who he pointed blame at but he never said anything like this.
