In my H2S Alive recert class everyone was white except for two Native guys and one black African. The African guy was late to come back from break which prompted the instructor to ask, "does anyone know where the colored guy is"?



The colored guy? It's 2016 and this instructor who is about my age I would guess describes black Africans as "colored guys." I am not a very pc guy, but I know that word died out many decades ago or so I thought.

The "colored guy," I cannot believe it.

The instructor should be reprimanded or worse.

I could be really crude with this but it would ruffle too many feathers.



I'm desperately trying to restrain myself....there is so much material to work with here. :laugh3:

Crude or offensive to racial groups?

Why is saying "coloured" so offensive?  The guy was probably trying to be as inoffensive as possible and that's what he went with.  These terms change to the whims of PCism that it can be hard to keep up.

An offensive reminder of a past where not so subtle racism was tolerated.

Maybe I'm a little too sensitive about this.
