Its only politically correct if you don't notice
Apologies in advance if I offend anyone here, but I'm from Yorkshire, and not too tolerant of changes :)

A few weeks back I was accosted by a "coloured" guy at University who told me that he'd heard I had called him black. Now, I'm 6ft 4, so even if I was mincing down the corridors people wouldn't stand up to me, so this guy either thinks a lot of himself or he's hard, and by the look of his attire (chavvy) I'm thinking he's proficient in neither department. So I thought I'd press him on it.

Me: "You sure it's me?"
Him: "Yeah, I heard you, in the union earlier."
Me: "So you tracked me down to tell me that did you?"
Him: "Yeah, aren't you gonna apologise?"

I thought it best at this point to give in, but not without a parting shot:

Me: "Well mate, I'm sorry if I offended you, would you mind if I called you 'ethnically challenged' instead?"

Luckily, he didn't get it at the time, and I still don't think he has now.

Erm,
this is sort of racist isn't it?

Yeah, I guess it is racist,
But the guy was a complete cnut, and it was the easiest thing to pick up on. If he had been of a caucasian persuasion I would probably made a fool of his stupid attire, but he played the race card, so I turned round and threw it right back at him. And *prepares for lynching* I'd do it again to anyone who tries to play the race card at me.

*goes to think up alternative retorts for people playing the sexist/homophobia cards*
