Never thought that expression I used referred to skin color

It doesn't. Never has, never will.

I just wanted to demonstrate that if someone is looking for racism, or other forms of political incorrectness, they will find it anywhere.

I really hope Habtom is still reading this thread....

I don't know exactly how that site generates it's data, but also on that map is the word 'mum'. I'm not going to choose to be offended at the fact that they are insulting my mother.

Dumb is synonymous to Dim. Dim is synonymous to black, but not as in the race, as in meaning there is no hope. e.g. A dim outlook on life. A black day.

People have shouted racism just because they see the word black, without even considering other meanings of the word. For them the word black is always about skin colour.

The sort of people who ban schoolkids from singing 'Baa Baa Black Sheep'. And insisting that a blackboard now be called a chalkboard incase anyone is offended.

I find the whole thing ridiculous.
