I think he'd have a point if he was talking specifically about the response to refugees, eg Poland welcoming Ukrainians with open arms, whilst building a wall to keep Syrians and other aslum seekers out.
I don't think that 'coloured' is considered acceptabe these days mate.
Quote from: Risso on March 04, 2022, 03:16:53 PMI don't think that 'coloured' is considered acceptabe these days mate.It shows what is different in terms of "accepted or understood" terminology in North America vs Europe. It's commonly used here, as in "people of colour" and as you know I considered myself coloured. Truthfully, I have no idea what is right or wrong anymore and what people decide top get worked up over. Personally, I tend not to get offended by those things with much, much bigger actual racism issues that we are facing.

Footballer kicks cat, outrage. Royal family members indiscriminately kill many wild animals for fun, wave flags.
