on the other hand these 'rainbow sheep' sound rather intriguing.

i'm doing a fucking 2 hour course on diversity because our systems at work have buggered up and it's mind numbing

on the plus side though i've learned that black people aren't black any more, they're BMEs (black and minority ethnic people). good to know

it just means the sheep is gay and proud.

though sure it would be a brilliant boost for the wool trade

politically correct sheep:

I don't think so! I'm offended. Not a bit of white in sight.

Another thing that pisses me off is when you're signing up for something online and it says thousands of ethnic minority options like 'asian - bangladeshi, asian - indian, black - carribean, black - african' etc etc
fair doos but then all it says is 'white'.

I DON'T WANT TO BE CLASSED IN THE SAME ETHNIC GROUP AS THE WELSH!!!!!

i know fucking ridiculous. not allowed to say blackboard/whiteboard at schools anymore
a blackboard is called a blackboard because it is a board thats black, not as a stab at black people.

i'd like to see a black guy who whenever someone said blackboard he got offended

thats pissed me off so much. fucking stupid over sensitive bastard.
i think as honkys should start taking major offence every time someone says the word white.

can i just add that this thread is in no way saying anything bad about any ethnic minority, just the over sensitivity of a select few individuals and the government being such a little bitch about it

I think that is a bit waste, tbh... there are words that don't need to be said, but describing someone as the color of their skin is just kinda... well, I mean cmon...

using random slang for the sexual preferences, race, etc meant to be derogatory, or coming from that general direction should be avoided. a black sheep is one who stands out in the crowd, not a name for an actual person of color. Who the fuck comes up with this shit really?

that's just an example of general ignorance though, isn't it. he's not necessarily overly PC, just a fucking idiot who doesn't know what a black hole is.
