‘Person of colour’ is fine. ‘Coloured’ isn’t. Why? Because of the historical connotations of ‘coloured’. Coloured only restrooms (US) or No Irish, No dogs, No Coloured. Blacks chose ‘people of colour’, ‘black’, ‘African American’ whereas ‘coloured’ was imposed on them.https://twitter.com/MatildaSwallows/status/1159524850156953601 …

Ignore the language police kids. The language that leftists consider to be a sure sign of evil in their political opponents was very different twenty years ago, and will be unpredictably different twenty years from now.

I disagree. You can't ignore them, because they never stop. Their goal is to manufacture shame and then browbeat you into submission and penury. The solution is to go on the offense, call them out for being filthy totalitarians, and use badspeak/ridicule to drive them craaaazy.

I agree, I just mean ignore the idiotic specific rules they are always making up and changing and foaming at the mouth about. For a "conservative" to be trying to each these rules is particularly ludicrous -- that is only "conserving" the last generation's leftist insanity.
