We will soon be unable?

Question

To go into a hardware store and ask for black paint. Are we losing our marbles in the manner in which we have to monitor our words.

Answer 1

Careful - 'marbles' might not be a permitted word

Answer 2

The right word is 'Ebony color.'

Answer 3

Yeah I bet it's already a byelaw in Haringaye

Answer 4

The new name for BLACK paint will be Coalshade.

Answer 5

Chuff me.  Is there anything not affected by these stupid PC rules?  You can't sing "baa baa black sheep", it's "baa baa rainbow sheep".  I wouldn't care, but I've never heard a single complaint about the sheep being called black, or paint being called black.  It's ridiculous.

Answer 6

You got it.  In schools the nursery rhyme Ba Ba Black Sheep was apparently banned several years ago.  I don't understand what's so offensive about being called white or black in any event, it's an observation and description - people should be proud of their colour, whatever it happens to be.

Answer 7

Yes, but i bet you will still be able to ask for white, yellow or red paint won't you. I think this political correctness is utter rubbish.

Answer 8

What colour would we ask for then? How ridiculous if this is true!
