"White people are in fact more coloured than black people.

White people go green when ill, red when embarrassed, etc."

<Insert other pointless, annoying argument about how you shouldn't refer to black people as coloured />

Oh how people who are that "pedantic"/delusional annoy me.

Coloured? Now that's a weird word. What colour precisely do you mean? Pink-ish? Yellow? Brown? Black?

I hope not green, though. There's that expression with 'green' and 'jealous' in it but can't remember how it goes...

Most people do have pigment (with the exception of albinos), meaning we are coloured...

TomX, out of curiousity why did you post that. No one has actually objected to the word "coloured".

My main point was that why couldn't the thread simply be "Have you ever had a partner of a different race to yourself?"... It is too subjective. But since I am, and you are, getting off-topic, let's allow the others to discuss the actual topic :smile:

I'm white, went out with a guy who was half trinidad and tobago, quarter seychelles and quarter white. Was a pretty lush mix.
I'll object to the word coloured-i hate it! Really pointless

and a lot of you are proving my point but defeating the aim of this thread.
It's about white individuals going with non whites, not the other way around lol.
DUDE....You can't use the word 'coloured' anymore. I'm not just saying that coz im Indian...im saying it....coz it's racist and condescending.
