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.
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.Comment

The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.Comment

I do think there's a bit of an issue with the English FA of all people / organisations sticking their oar in and ruling on words from other languages and cultures.

Utd getting mulleredComment

Should have been 3 or 4 down at half time easilyComment

United will still win it handsomely second half I think. They mullered Southampton as they started playing last week. 1-0 is not enough for West Ham and they will probably rue their profligacy.Are we winning?Comment

I think West Ham will win 3-1Comment
