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.

The first sentence, is that true? If so, wow, how weird. I always found it ironic about the NAACP exists, if they want to make one version of the same term 'bad', then at least remove it from the name of an organisation that represents the people it's meant to be insulting against.

It's much to the reason I generally use the term 'ethnicity', I'd like people to find fault in that (they will try probably).
