Times have changed and I can see why, some of the older generation dont always keep up with what is acceptable now.
Yeah I know Stevie Wonder sang a lot about coloured people and my parents used that term...personally I see no offence, there's other words like the N or P word which causes great offence and I get that, but I don't think its a good idea to have folk walking on eggshells about whats words are in vogue today. if you come across humbly and sincere then folk should pick up on that and not hold people to ransom. I think this guy was a fool and im not defending him.
