I've seen a few terms used of late in this free rag, and I have some concerns over their use of terminoolgy.
Last week I read about the Clinton campaign and that she is drummin up support from "The coloureds"
On monday, I read about an increase of HIV cases amongst "The Gays".
I think my gran must be writing these articles.....

Perhaps the whole paper is written by that mouth-frothing Mary Ma who writes the editorial page.

Not sure, but black is the absence of colour :)
