Awful Amber Grovels To Race-Obsessed Uptights!
Sticking up for the ghastly Amber Rudd is irksome to say the least but when a bunch of whining dorks start sticking it to her for using a perfectly inoffensive phrase like ‘coloured people’ – it really is time somebody slapped the uppities down.

According to The Independent, Rudd is being ‘lambasted’ for describing the repulsive Diane Abbot as a ‘coloured woman.’
Here’s a picture of Corbyn’s ex-bed-mate…
Ugly Abbott
…
…and I could use some fairly mean adjectives to describe her.
But since she is clearly not a white woman, and, like many West Indian-origin people, not really very black either, I’d have thought ‘colored’ is both reasonably accurate and plainly inoffensive.
Bored at home on Sunday, I took the trouble to look into the origin of the childish prejudice that some coloured people have about being called ‘coloured people!’
Apparently it’s because such usage implies that ‘white’ is normal and everybody else is therefore not!
Go figure.
Seems to be just another example of uptight obsession with race.

Even more so, when the uptights’ preferred mode of description turns out to be ‘people of colour!’
What’s the diff?
If comparison of ‘white’ with ‘colour’ is what provokes infantile tantrums like that currently besetting Awful Amber, then ‘coloured people’ is neither more nor less provocative than ‘people of colour.’
‘Mulatto’ was the traditional word for somebody of mixed white and black race – were Abbot to be thus addressed, would she explode?
Now there’s a thought!
These whiney wallies are SO tiresome.
But what is most pathetic is Rudd’s subsequent grovelling.
She is humbly ‘apologising’ for her “clumsy language,” instead of telling the pathetic clown critics to get a life!

You are gallant to defend that Rudd, too nice to her altogether, sfter she brought in all those so-called ‘children’ from Calais who looked like army drop-outs.
There is far too much fuss about race and colour. It started with Harold Wilson in the 60s, race laws that stopped employers choosing who they wanted to employ, and then anti-free speech laws that made everyone pipe down for fear of prosecution.
Now we are so oppressed that even a Cabinet Minister has to apologise for calling somebody a coloured woman.
Even when that somebody is a coloured woman.

Don’t waste a moment of your writing talents on Rudd. She is not worth it.
It’s quite true what you say about colour. I’m always annoyed when I read about rows like this, a great lot of blather about nothing. Amber Rudd should never have apologised.
PC speech codes are insulting.
Who cares how we refer to each other?

I was reading about that guy fired by the BBC for his monkey joke and this came to mind.
Did you miss the latest ‘race-row?’ When will Britain recover her sense of humour?
I never saw so much wasted emotion, all the far left (including the editor of The Scotsman!) screaming for the poor guy’s head.
And the BBC duly chopped him.
