Labour has decided to start their campaign with a bang, pruning women of colour and left wingers from the ballot due to reasons such as liking tweets sharing Jon Stewart videos. At the end of the day it boils down to support for Palestine.
Looks like Labour is doing what they can to make sure UK politics remains completely fucked even after the end of the Tory rule.
Has “people of colour” caught on over here now? It always sounded uncomfortably close to “coloured people” as a kind-of-offensive term for all non-whites.
That’s how it used to be used, but has since been reclaimed. It’s safe to use.
That’s good to know. Doesn’t really matter if I think it’s weird as long as it’s not actually upsetting anyone!
Pretty sure the UK term was BAME, but US culture is pretty pervasive.
There has been a move away from BAME in recent years in favour of more accurate, less broad terms:
