    A lady who isn't white?
    Do I win?
    WTF is the problem? There isn't one other than in the heads of a stupid minority.

    A coloured person. Apparently that is incorrect. A person of colour is OK. You can’t say black because some people of African descent are brown. A good example of the stupidity was Idris Elba being introduced by an American as Idris Elba as the African American English actor. He gave the idiot short shrift. It was reported in that article that an American referred to Mandela as an African American. Mandela heard him and told him he was African and that was it.

    Some are proper fans who stick with them through thick and thin. Some go even further, like Trumpton Tiger and Jim The Tiger’s dad supported them financially and in other ways in bad times. Some roll up when it suits them and then disappear, others stick with them. Be interesting to compare ours and Wednesday’s crowds this year, they are in worse **** than us with ticket prices over 60% higher.

    How about a Citizen of colour? (Quite apt)

    As in any person who's not white?

    Only because the people you’re referring to have asked to be referred to as that.

    I’ve never particularly understood why, but if it means they don’t feel upset then why not? It doesn’t cause me any issue to simply refer to people as they’d prefer to be referred to, once I’ve been made aware of that.

    No idea why ‘woke’ is used as an insult. It seems to me to be simply used to refer to people who don’t deliberately cause upset to someone. I suppose it’s quicker to say than ‘decent human being’
