Black is perfectly fine, even for a lighter shade than black black, alternatively you could say with darker skin tone. There's no point in trying to describe a skin tone down to the exact shade as there too many. look we are referred to as white while actually we're any shade from light peach over pink to beige so pinkish would be more accurate. 
Coloured is really outdated and should only be used for smurfs and ladies with too much make up and orange fake tan. |

Jennifer Hudson is on Broadway in a stage production of The Color Purple. She spoke about it on The Daily Show. She said it was wonderful to have a cast featuring such beautiful and strong ladies of colour. I like that expression because it sounds positive without being too PC. |

"Women of colour" is used to describe women of all shades of darker skin (as in not white). The use of the word "coloured" is racist. Nobody coloured them that way. I can't even believe that has to be explained. Funny tho its only ever white people complaining of having to be "pc". It's mind boggling how racist some can be and don't even realize it bc it's so normal for them. Le sigh...... |

Normal to someone or not. Still racist. You don't get a pass for living in the back woods of nowhere. It's the 21st century. Come on cj. :/ |

I remember the summer of 1987. One day we went to Bray. 2fm were broadcasting live from the promenade.
HB were sponsoring the live broadcast. They gave out free Golly Bar ice creams to everyone.
I loved Golly Bars. Pure, white vanilla ice cream on a stick |

No sweetness not asking for a pass but at the same time the convo has to be had I've have no problem asking a guy/girl what I should refer to them as in a manner of educating my self but u can be sure there's lots that wouldn't and would most likely get it wrong when they then try to interact with others. This is why I said maybe a person of a different race that's normal in Ireland might join in and give us their view u must remember it's only really the turn of the century that rural Ireland seen the influx of immigrants |

And by that I mean all nationalities each day I meet people and if I detect that they aren't Irish by nationality I will ask as I know some put them all down as Polish when there's Instionans, Latvians,Russians and others of the pale face majority that don't like being lumped together |

Humm ok. But I'm just not seeing people in the western world in the 21st century just not knowing the difference between right and wrong. And Irish defo don't get a pass. How many 100s of years were Irish slaves? And what's that god awful phrase that you'll still here now and again? You know the one about how Irish were thought of in europe. Ugh. I can't even bring myself to type out the vile sentence. Ps. People are taught to be racist. It's not a gene their born with so I'm just not buying some people don't know any better.
Still loves ya tho sweetness xxx |

Why do people claim that Obama is Black? His mother is white and his father is black. Doesn't that make him as much white as black?
He is of mixed race, he is neither black or white. The black people of the USA incorrectly claim him as a black man. |
