What is the correct terminology these days? I'm sure I heard on the ITV lunch time news today the reporter talking about the recent racism row between the football players and he used the term 'coloured coaches'.

Why bail-outs?

Why are such cases getting more widespread?

I remember in one episode of Brookside (remember Brookie?!), a character (can't remember who now) asked Mick Johnson (played by Louis Emerick) something like, "Do you want to be called black or coloured?" to which Mick replied, " I'd like to be called Mick!" I remember thinking at the time, good response!
