Yes France has gone loopy, I think it's time Little Napoleon was sent to the Louvre or face the guillotine.

You're thoughts?

Everybody's gone mad

Somebody identified themself as a person of colour the other day, and I asked "so which person is colourless, do tell?" Discrimination disguised under the garb of being "political correct."

He should have told you to google it.

Yes I know it's from Atlanta but it's funnier to let people think it's real.

Maybe, but that doesn't make them colourless. People need to stop creating "definitions" based off of a false premise.

Maybe but it was you who raised the question. It's obvious that the second term is result of the existence of the first description that you decided to challenge as if you didn't know why the other person referred himself as such.

If you do not like the term people of color, you need to get in to a time machine to tell the ones who coined that instead of getting in face of other people.

It seems to be an American thing, I'm not American so why would I go back and change it?The problem with the colourless being those with "less pigmentation" is that it implies that that's the natural/primary state and then colour is added to create a new state. All I see is it stemming from political correctness, but in reality being discriminatory itself.

Out of curiosity what would a Chinese(pale) be classified as?

I'm from the UK and I assure you we don't use coloured. When we say colour it applies to all whether white, pink, brown, yellow, black. It doesn't make the slightest bit of difference to us which is why we would never use colourless as an antonym.

They may have used it in the early days to describe black people, post slavery, but we don't use it.

Well I get the logic of the law to take into account LGBT couples do have an issue that people can literally identify as anything

it's a ultra minority and they want to piss off the whole of France with this garbage.
this is offensive/insulting to the majority of families.

Scratch parent 1 and 2 and write father mother. It's simple like that.

It's a disturbing trend, if those offended don't possess within their genes the ability have kids(male with male, female with female etc) then they shouldn't. The nuclear biological household structure or identification process shouldn't be changed just to make them feel wanted.

What's more annoying is the majority won't challenge the government on this change. They should and get it returned to the normal order asap.

This is the stupidest sh*t I've ever seen. Gender dysphoria is a mental sickness and should be treated as such. The same goes for all dysphorias. Being dissatisfied with your gender, race, age, etc, is one thing, but actively trying to change, such as undergoing *** reassignment surgery, is another matter entirely.

However, on a different note, I have nothing against homosexuality nor same *** marriage.

Of course " coloured is archaic and now replaced with " people/person of colour". But you forget that this conversation started when you asked someone "who is colourless then". To which I pointed you to the Urban dictionary.

Then you took offence that someone defined that, to which I pointed that it was result of the phrase "people of colour".
To which you replied it was an American thing. So I pointed to British uses of it. And Britain does use the phrase " people of colour"

"It’s an understatement to say that over the past eight years, people of colour in this country have had it rough. We turn on the news to hear the dog-whistle racism of Boris Johnson, with high-ranking Tories long invoking dehumanising imagery of
