What on earth would we do without these social saviours taking it upon themselves to 'include' people who until now didn't realise they should be offended by all these 'non-inclusive' terms?

"the problem also judge is that that it doesn't stay still either. When I was younger "coloured" was fine and "black" was bad, then it was replaced by "black" as being ok but now that is wrong again."

No. The word "black" has never been considered bad. Whoever told you that is incorrect.

And coloured was last 'fine' around half a centrury ago. Language evolves even if people don't.

For goodness sake.

Why on earth would anyone get their panties in a twist over this. Have a look at the list! I don't know if anyone here like me still works but if anyone sent a professional email that read:

"I think you guys need to man up, and get into a powwow"

most people reading it would find the language odd.

Not everyone is in their 70s.
