People are racist. It's the normal condition.
My wife is Indian. She doesn't want to be called 'BAME', because it's a group that includes black people.

AK, +1. Mrs PN has said that all along. Even in Kenya many years ago I was amazed at the 'racism' although it might have been tribal or even class - and that between hotel reception and Bell Boys.
Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
I gather NO-ONE now wants to be called 'BAME' - it's so passé, darling.

When my money was in Barclays Dominion, Colonial and Overseas, it was a better bank than Barclays International.
And I got a higher rate of interest on my savings.

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
As men can now claim to be women and the reverse and change their registered sex on documents very cheaply, I was wondering whether I could change from Caucasian to Black. I'd like to be a better guitar blues player and have whiter teeth, and - ahem - a certain other physical attribute. I already like fried chicken and watermelon. And then My Life Would Matter and I could kiss Tracey Emin. (Not sure about that last..)

No, don't want to be jumped on by Capt. Slasher one dark night.

Some female RAF Warrant Officer, filling a non-job at Ramstein (Command Senior Enlisted Leader at NATO AIRCOM, RAF Diversity Ally & Gender Advisor) and with nothing better to do, kicked off about the use of the word 'Guys' when addressing a group of people. Must have worked for her because she featured in the NYHL.FD2 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 12, 2021 5:52 am'Woke' pongos may need safe spaces if they hear these trigger words.

My daughter, RAF Aux Regt rtd, gets my pip when she refers to pater and mater as 'you guys'.
Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
I had a day dream vision of a future combat scene where the Russians, with huge megaphones' shout "Come on out and fight - call yourselves fighting MEN and women?!" All the snowflakes are triggered, drop their weapons and run to their safe spaces.

Boac - depends on the desirability of the object in sight. Sometimes it really was a case of woof, woof, woof!

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
Another thing.
I'm fed up hearing, for example, a guy being described as a black author.
You're an author dude. Nobody gives a flying f whether you are black.
You write- it's either good or bad.
Also, I don't want to be informed of your skin colour, at the same time I learn you are an author.

Maybe the 'black' part is to warn critics that if they say the book is rubbish, they'll be labelled as racists and subject to Twatter storms and damnation.
