I have to sing ba ba [insert every colour in the rainbow here] sheep while "mindmapping" my ideas on a documentary about "little persons".
It's when things get to this extent that I can no longer respect PC. Okay perhaps the midget comment could be seen as slur, but the rest is not! A black sheep is a rare sight! Of course we'll pick it out for being black! :\
There is a problem with " black "....it's frequently used in a pejorative sense:-
Blackmail
blackmarket
black as night
black humour
to black-ball
blackleg
the black sheep ( in a family " )
and so on.
WHEREAS, " white " is always " good ".
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
