Quote of the day

Nothing is necessarily as you thought it was, and you should never believe what you're told until you've had a chance to study it for yourselves

Racial Sensitivity. Why??

Isn't Britain a breeding ground for sensitive people with some sort of personality disorder? Why should an Asian feel offended by being called Asian, or filling forms which list Asian/British Asian? Are they not that? Please let us grow up. The whites do not feel offended when we call them whites. These groups simply make it easier to describe someone to a good degree of certainty. After all, I am African, and I expect the authorities should call me black or African, because this makes it easier to identify people. Please, not that you are not picked on when you are classified in your correct group, when it is all done in good spirit. Thanks for understanding, and I hope we all will try to find new peace in ourselves, instead of developing sensitivity which is detrimental to the society.

racial sensitivity
I agree, but I find the term "race" very offensive, for I know there are two races. One is the animal kingdom and two the human kingdom. Why don't they say what is the colour of your skin instead, that would be an accurate description, don't you think?
