| The Fury said: Take Cumberbatch recently, he said 'coloured' in reference to actors who are not white. All I say is so? Did no one listen to what he was actually saying? The people who condemn are idiots and retarded. |
That one is especially silly because "colored people" is very bad but "people of color" is not only fine but the preferred term of many professional offense takers.
And no, they weren't listening to what he was saying. Intent means nothing. It's all about uttering magic words for some people.
