It's the use of the term 'coloured' that is frowned upon because this term was applied during the apartheid days in South Africa.

Noit when I lived there, OB. "Nie Blankes" was the regularly used expression on signs etc when discriminating.

The damned woke brigade are responsible for deprecating the term "coloured". Which are worse? The woke brigade or the lycra brigade?

Oh and now we have the woke preferred word "BAME" - no doubt soon to be BAME+LGBT1QZ or summat equally stupid.
