If he was a white guy in a group of predominantly black people then the white guy. If everyone was white, his hair colour, his height, any distinctive features or clothes. Basically describing somebodys appearance is not discriminatory. To say it's racist to describe a black person as being black is insinuating there is something wrong with being black, otherwise what would be the issue in mentioning it? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But someone's appearance would be scruffy or smart or unkempt. Maybe tall or fat. If I was asked to describe someone's appearance, black wouldn't be a word I'd use.

matthefish2002 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Got a feeling this thread will get pulled soon. Think they should warn 4th official about using that term, probably didn't mean any offence in the heat of the moment. If he does it again then remove him from the officials list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
