    If it's absence of colour,how can a 'person of colour' be black ? He'd have to be a person of the absence of colourhttps://twitter.com/AxLTheCatalan/status/726413911034044416 …

    @JohnCleese white is the sum of all colours, actually. Black is the absence of colour.

        @JohnCleese i mean, he's scientifically correct. black people aren't actually black, they're a shade of brown.

        @JohnCleese if a person was not a person of color, they'd be transparent.

        .@JohnCleese You've just advanced race relations a hundred years. All it took was a cursory knowledge of physics and optics!

        @JohnCleese the colour of light if white and when refracted, makes a rainbow. blackness/darkness is the absence of light

        @JohnCleese @AxLTheCatalan All light reflected is white. All light absorbed is black. So, black is just greedy with the hues. ;)

        @JohnCleese I honestly don't get (and I'm not being a git here) - 'coloured' is bad but 'person of colour' isn't.
