Re: Colour
KPD (Kingston Party Dispersal) use racial profiling ... there was some fuss over it at first; but it seems as if it is accepted now. Suspects are regularly described as black, hispanic, aboriginal etc.... none of those silly codes.
Oh, and I forgot white

Re: Colour
Well if IC1 is white, then some could argue that makes us superior, better just to say what colour they are in the first place.

I don't understand why anyone would ask such a pointless question unless one they're trolling, or two they're blatantly telling everyone theyre racist.
If I rang the police to report my car had been stolen do you think it would help them to know the colour & make?

Re: Colour
I honestly think race is becoming too big an issue, i deplore Sepp Blatter...for many reasons, but i quite see where he was coming from on this point!...Why is it that only in England is he being condemned on this issue!
If someone is called a FAT so & so..its NO ISSUE, or a SPASTIC so & so again its no issue!!..Sorry Race is not the ruddy be all and end all!
Best Regards - Taggy

Re: Colour
Unless i'm missing something..i can't actually understand the original question!...If you have to describe someone as Black, White, Asian, what does that matter...because that's how YOU saw them!..That's your viewpoint..not racist..its not a condemnation..its an observation!!

Re: Colour
Some numpty would probably see it as 'sexist' if you told the police whether your flasher had an 'inny' or an 'outy', when asked for a description.

Exactly Taggy, if there's a crime committed and your a witness and a copper asks you what you saw your hardly going to say he was white when quite obviously he was black or brown or what ever, your not going to say he was wearing a blue coat and yellow pants if he was dressed all in black, sometimes I do think that by highlighting so called "racism" it has an adverse effect to the what you want to achieve
