Here’s an idea: if we’re going to carry on using colour to describe people, why don’t we get it right?

Personally, I couldn’t care less whether or not people wish to use colour to differentiate one human being from another. afterall, we use the same logic for cars, bags etc.

However, why not get it right?

How is you-know-whom white? (perhaps orange?)

How is Megan Markle black? (perhaps pasty-cream?)

It can’t be that difficult to define an accurate spectrum to fit everyone. It may even help the police apprehend fleeing criminals better…

And if some folk still think they are white (ghosts will likely be offended, but ok..), fine.

I would presume there will be some shades of pink, some shades of brown, perhaps some shades of black too, orange of course (for you know whom) and some other interesting colours

That should get some accuracy into it and give the world some breathing space from the presently suffocating white v black crap! It is just too bloody convenient!

I always feel for the Chinese, Japanese and a few others whom the world just conveniently leave out like they don’t exist?! They have been left out of the colour option. And then you have Southeast Asians who are now regularly referred to as non-white! seriously?! “The UK gets its first non-white Prime Minister”. Poor fella. We couldn’t even do him the honour of giving him a colour. I wonder what the motive would be (or has been, over the years), not to adopt this broader, wider, more accurate range of colour-coding of humans? Strength in numbers? your guess is as good as mine!

It is definitely time to get this correct, so we can stop alienating people who are neither white (ghosts are fed up!) nor black
