When I was a child growing up in the 60's there was a boy in my school called John. Actually there were probably around 6-8 Johns as it was still fairly common to call a child after his father. The John to which I am referring was black. He was adopted (would it happen these days?) by a white couple with grown up daughters. Everyone, and I mean everyone referred to John as black John as he was the only "coloured" child in the school and it seemed a natural way of telling him apart.
Looking at my grandchildren's primary school (incidentally the same school) there are only 2 non white children in the school. I cannot imagine in a million years either of those children being called "black Jane" or "brown Billy" .
Is there such a thing as delicious ready meals?
