Evra accuses Suarez of racism

[Red_Polo]

The absence of colour.

[Chrono]

Of course nobody is black but using "coloured" or "people of colour" in reference to "black" is actually incorrect.

Colour is pigment in light, black represents no light or pigment. When your telly is on the light behind the colour makes the image you see, if you see black on your TV (pure black) then there is no light being used which is the definition of a colour.

Well you're being a bit of a pedant

If someone is wearing a black tshirt and someone else asks you what colour that person's tshirt is, what do you say?

I'd say black, sure but that doesn't mean I was correct.

Pedant or not, black isn't a colour.

In the context of 'what colour is that car' etc, surely it is

Being logical about it; no.

It would make more sense to use "coloured" when referring to someone white.

"Throughout the game Manchester United's Black captain Patrice Evra was booed, jeered and racially insulted by the Liverpool fans."


No wonder there are racial divides with spineless lying ****s like him spouting bollocks.

the very fact that a reference is made to highlight his colour must surely be, in itself, a racist term. the world has gone to bollocks

or... is it ok to state the ****ing obvious. who knows anymore.

Excellent choice sir, would you care for any brushes with your pot of black paint?
