» Political Correctness Gone Mad

First post, please be gentle...
I was studying Information Sciences at was then called the University of North London. We were in the middle of a class explaining the cultural biases of the Dewey decimal system (staying awake was the requisite for passing). In a class that was approximately 80% black the lecturer told us all that black people preferred to be called 'people of colour'. You can imagine the farce that ensued when the aforementioned 80% of the class told him that actually they preferred being called black and the lecturer decided to argue his point.

EDIT: (as length seems important round here)
We didn't get to go to the student bar in time for happy hour
