It's not often I stick up for bluenoses, but that's a tad harsh. If this is because Corky used the term 'coloured' to describe back people then, while I accept it is ignorance, that isn't being racist.
I've only ever tended to buy music by black artists. so I have known for a very long time how black folk feel about being called coloured, but people who don't know the latest terms to use shouldn't be branded racists..
Some white people actually think calling black folk black is being racist! With white people the term white is the one term that is used, but over the years various terms have been used to describe black people 'black' 'coloured' 'African-American' or 'Afro-Caribbean' 'person of colour' etc. I can understand why some people aren't aware of the correct term to use.
When someone does use the wrong term he/she should be told that isn't acceptable anymore. Branding them racist, when they haven't made a racist comment, is out of order and shouldn't be allowed, in my opinion.
