There were T-shirts for sale at Donnington with this on at the w/e.

1st heard it in the early 90's I think. Know that I was at school as was told it by a mate who had always referred to himself as 'coloured' but said that he was now going to start calling himself 'black' after thinking about this! (Same bloke would describe his skin colour as cafe-crème )

I have to take issue with one of the lines though. A black colleague in a previous job suffered an attack of a particulary virulent lurgey.

He turned very green; dark green admittedly, but definitely green.

Most amusing.....he spent an entire day on the toilet, or on his way there or back

Oh on, to describe him as 'white' or 'pink' would a, mean that you required a sight test, b, lose you your nuts if he heard.

He was very proud of his 'afro-caribian' blood.
