"oh god political correctness gone mad " Ummm, actually this term has been offensive for years as it's how slave masters described their slaves. Not everything is 'political correctness gone mad' you know. There are often reasons behind it. If a term offends someone, why would you use it? (unless that is the intention of course) Anyway, I'm sure there are mixed-race and black people on here.....you just have to look. | |||

" if its ment to be offensive then of course its wrong but the guys asking to meet 'coloured' ladies so there for he's obviously not intending to offend, but theres aloways got to be someone who jumps in and has to correct people, no matter what term they use its going to be wrong to some, people are people some just use different words to describe what type of person they looking for, not everything is ment in a negative way | |||

"Really hate it when people start on the slavery and political correctness debate - hope you realise that most slaves were actually sold by tribal leaders to traders after local battles - just go to zanzibar and look at the chieftans houses - there were also white slaves and that went on for at least 4 thousand years. Unfortunately in our big attempt to be politically correct and to dislodge certain chips from peoples shoulders we forget about the slavery that goes on now right this minute. In India today parents pay off their debts by putting their children into slavery and people in St Lucia and the Carribean work for less than a dollar a day in factories making disney toys and clothes for primark - why not stop talking about it and do something about it!!" Hmmm, I was merely explaining why it was offensive. That's it. I know the original poster wasn't trying to be offensive but hopefully if he doesn't use words that could be offensive, he might get a meet with a black woman! My post was just pointing out how not everything is political correctness gone mad. But you guys have fun. And thanks for the history lesson, very enlightening .... | |||

" Oh, I'm sorry naughty kitty. Was he looking for you? If so, he can offend you as much as he likes. But if he's looking for a particular group of people, then maybe the best thing is to use neutral words to describe them. What with the slavery debate and now this, this thread has turned into something it shouldn't be. Good luck to the original poster. | |||

"..aren't you adding to the 'moans' with your own contribution? " More than likely but I didn't realise that people would misunderstand my original post so much. The term used is offensive - you can get sacked for continuously saying it after being corrected. My advice to the poster is don't offend people you are looking to meet. That's it. Nothing more than that. All there is to it. End of point. | |||

" sorry Lydiah, my post wasnt directed at you But I agree with all you say, Im sure others would offer similarly sage advice if someone sought a meeting with a 'fat bird', or 'slaphead', it's not crime of the century, but there are more delicate ways of addressing things | |||

" ... The term used is offensive - you can get sacked for continuously saying it after being corrected. .............. " What term used? Colo(u)red? Surely the lead organisation for civil rights in the US is the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People . There seems something amiss when the term is common currency over there and is deemed offensive over here. | |||

They say 'The N Double A CP' in the West Wing not the actual full name. | |||

" ... I suspect the Yanks just use the acronym 'cos they're lazy bastards. " thanks jim.. as a yank remind me to buy you a drink at the glasgow social!!!! or you can buy me one to say sorry... lol right.... back on topic..... I hate seeing these types of posts on BOTH sides.... as Nina I think brilliantly said in the original "racism on fabswingers" thread... I find the whole topic really "de-humanising" in general.... It's not about a preference and its not about being PC... I don't want to be seen as being any different to anyone else.... I hate it being played up in peoples names, I hate people playing it up with a chip on there shoulder.. I want people to play with me for me... I am the best person I can be, and if I get the feeling I am being used for my colour... I would walk! I have enough belief and conviction in myself to know I would, and I have... | |||

" . It's not about a preference and its not about being PC... I don't want to be seen as being any different to anyone else.... ............" Surely the point is that we ARE all different. It doesn't mean anyone is better or worse. Diversity is a beautiful thing. What I wouldn't want to see (and I think this is the point you're making) is a situation where people are 'ticking off' various races as they shag them - a bit like real ale drinkers working their way through the CAMRA guide or hillwalkers working their way through the Munros | |||

Which surprises us as most black or Asian people seem to be as sick and tired of all this racist P.C thing as the rest of us! | |||

"The man was only asking a simple question and many of you have turned this into something racist...I saw no offence intended by the person in his post so why make out there was ?? " Cant agree more!! I have been following this post and it is totally obvious to anybody with half a brain that the guy isnt racist and he didnt set out to offend anybody when he put post up. | |||

What have you done wrong?? Its the offending brigade that's the problem, not you. | |||

Its just the ways the forums are. I once started a thread about peoples favourite bands and it ended up which an argument between two people about womens rights!! Seriously, I hope you had some success from your op. | |||

"Haha this is the silliest thread I've ever read on fab, if this guy was being racist I'm certainly sure he wouldn't be asking to meet up and enjoy the company of "colored" people! I've been "colored" most of my life! lol! And I have family that are much darker than I, and I'll tell you all now if they read this silly thread, they'd just laugh at how all you guys are taking this so seriously as there are way more hurtful words to choose from than to call a person "colored" And the only people I've noticed making a fuss are white people! Oh sorry I meant people of Caucasian descent, silly me " high 5 x | |||
