Why then is the term 'People of colour' acceptable?
Who says it is acceptable?

The issue with Kaepernick was that he did during the singing of the National Anthem and was immediately seized upon as unpatriotic and against ALL Americans by the media.I wonder what the reason was that sports people didn’t come out in solidarity withColin Kaepernick
Over three years ago.
Football and footballers for years have had a platform to make a stand against racism/homophobia and many other issues.
Got to laugh when at some matches, ref blows whistle, and three or four players “forget” the obligatory kneel and think it’s the start of play.
Many people use it and you know it.

So are you ignoring the article I posted where someone says they don’t like to be referred to that way - is it up to white people to decide what is acceptable to call black people ?
Or should we allow them to decide what they deem is acceptable or not - so if someone says they don’t like to be called “people of colour” , maybe we don’t use that the same with coloured.

Would you say someone not liking multi-culturalism doesn't have a clue in these areas (whatever these areas are)Sadly for a Multi-cultural Nation, there are so, so many folks who, for whatever reason, just have not got a clue in so many areas.
I can only suppose that would depend on the reason that specific person didn’t like multiculturalism. Can you give examples?Would you say someone not liking multi-culturalism doesn't have a clue in these areas (whatever these areas are)
My feeling is that all terms used to describe people by skin colour are in themselves divisive
“Black”,”White” “People of Colour” etc etc are all labels that differentiate
Why can’t we just be people
The longer these language barriers exist, the longer it will take to get rid of the “us & them”
So you, a middle class white man, wants to help decide what black people can call each other?[
This, But Coach Carter sums it up perfectly when some people use then N word which is as offensive as it gets. But the same people are offended when anglo Saxon people and there equivalent coloured people use the same word. The education of what is and is not acceptable has a long way to go no matter what colour your skin.

I think that’s a large part of the problem.
No what he is saying is that some black people are using the N word in common parlance thus perpetuating the use of that word.
It is a word that needs to die out and the people that continue to use it are not helping
Let me draw an analogy with another word that in some hands in seen as an insult and in others as merely a descriptor - in the LGBT community, the word queer is used openly and isn’t an insult. Yet if a homophobe used that word aggressively it’s clearly an insult.
Do you feel that no one in the LGBT community should refer to themselves as queer?
Genuine question as I feel there are huge parallels.
As to the overarching point, I simply disagree with you and tash but I see why you feel the way you do.
For example: they may feel it creates division and restricts integration.I can only suppose that would depend on the reason that specific person didn’t like multiculturalism. Can you give examples?
