I remember the days when BAME people were called coloured. That was offensive so everyone stopped saying it. I can see why people would be offended by that to be honest as we are all coloured. Now I hear lots of Black people identify themselves as a 'person of colour'. Everyone must have heard people talk about themselves in this way over the last few years?
Where are we going with all this? Are white people trying too hard not to offend but end up offending? Does everyone have to have a GCSE in geography before they can describe someone who looks Pakistani or Filipino?
