British conservative politician apologises after calling Diane Abbott a 'coloured woman'
How about "fugly" as a description?
Amber Rudd has apologised for using “clumsy language” after she described Diane Abbott as a “coloured woman”.
The Work and Pensions Secretary sparked outcry after she used the term - widely regarded as a racist slur - during a radio interview in which she discussed abuse and racism in British politics.
Ms Abbott, the shadow home secretary, said the term was “offensive” and a “revealing choice of words”.

"Coloured" is actually a more accurate description than black. In the weird world we inhabit, most blacks are brown.
Don't confuse the issue even more by mentioning the NAACP, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

Some people are oh so sensitive.
ReplyDeletePerson of Color, fine.
ReplyDeleteColored person, offensive. Ya right, whatever. The perpetually aggrieved can't make up their "minds."
Fugly works. So does 'south end of a northbound mule'
ReplyDelete"widely considered a racist slur"
ReplyDeleteBy whom?
Who is keeping the rule-book on this nowadays?
I certainly can't keep up.
Abbott has described herself as a woman of colour on many occasions so it seems a woman of colour is not a coloured woman . You could not make this up its so absurd .
