The phrase 'people of colour' is a daft phrase in the modern world.
Everybody is some kind of a colour.
'People of colour' is too similar to 'coloured people'.
'Coloured people' was, in my mind, a polite way of saying 'black'. Back in the day, to call someone 'black' was quite blatant, and to say 'coloured' was more gentle.
So, we have gone back to the old fashioned way, by not saying black, and we are going round the houses saying 'of colour', yet 'coloured' is unfashionable and now deemed offensive.
Don't get it myself, but there are lots of new words and phrases which people like to use, but these are optional. The colour thing is virtually mandatory. Don't know why.
I don't understand this colour problem. It's mountains out of molehills.
Every word ever used to describe someone of colour has been deemed offensive. Why is that? Don't they like being black?
Is it because some of the originally inoffensive names get chanted in playgrounds and at football matches so often that a new name has to be found after so many years?
I've never heard 'coloured' used in a particularly offensive way though, I'm sure no one has.
They must be angry, pink, RWR and Brexers. Otherwise it would be unfair to authentic gammons.
I mean, the difference between 'coloured people' and 'people of colour' is the same as;
'rest home' and 'home of rest'.
And yes, 'rest home' seems an easier, more natural way of talking.
in 10 years time 'people of colour' will be deemed unacceptable anyhow.
'rest home' and 'home of rest'.

So you say black people can use the word Gammons in relation to angry, pink, RWR and Brexers who are white.... If the Brexers are Black or Asian would it still apply to them? If the Brexer was let's say a angry Muslim or a Jew!! Would they also be known as Gammons.

I'm assuming Brigadier is well aware of where Georgia is on the map, how it sits in the 'Deep South' description and of its history of equality?
Did Brigadier think to look up the ethnic mix of those in charge at the University?

Including your attempts at inventing new references to confectionery, with potentially racist connotations?Yes thanks and proud of it, now be a good lad and join me in stamping out all terms referring to ANY colour (or shade remember ) with negative connotations or you ARE part of the problem. My trolling friend.
No doubt you thought it was funny at the time?
Especially as you stated that you had never made any reference to colour!
A complete lack of self awareness.I guess it’s like a Lighter black guy is a Bournville when angry, the skin darkens with a flush of red..yeah just the same.. let’s start calling these frustrated protestors Bournvilles...
It would appear that you repeated your suggestion several times. Were you hoping it would catch on?

my understanding is that the term coloured person was a term used back in the days of segregation in the USA.
so the term has a historic past.
I realise in language terms, it makes no sense because 'coloured person' and 'person of colour' mean the same thing
I dont think so because 'people of colour' doesnt have a connection to segregation.
youve joined the wrong queue, try snooker ...
