I think you did 100% the right thing. When it comes to people you don't know and professional situations it's always the correct action. You don't know what her life is like, maybe she's always the only black person and hates being referred to it as that. Perhaps your colleagues could be offended by it etc. I would never considering describing someone using racial language for this reason.Originally posted by Buzzo View Post
Totally, it felt 100% appropriate to describe her this way, but, there was just that nagging doubt about using the colour of someones skin to be the defining factor.
From a practical POV it was 100% the most effective way to describe her.
As a country we have unresolved issues around racism, and I suppose until we have resolved them we will always have these areas of uncertainty.
One of my best friends is black and I've definitely offended him several times by saying stupid things without thinking about it. I don't think that's political correctness gone mad.
