Am so upset and outraged that a mother was arrested with her young son by Met Police as having not paid bus fare…Mother had paid bus fare .. am physically disgusted with MET police
They have traumatised this young boy and CANNOT understand these charges..

by the way coloured people is an outdated term, no longer acceptable.

who, me ?
there is no one word answer to that.
it depends on the context.
rarely need to describe people in that way.
but i try to avoid using terms that can give offence.

that link is not giving the actual content. ignore.
it's well known anyway.
i was taken aback to see the term in a posting here.
