An American using the word "black." I thought that label was
banned?
The US is not alone in having race problems. The Metropolitan
Police (London police) have recently been accused of being
institutionally racist. The ethnic distribution in the UK is
not anywhere near as diverse as in the US (only 1 in 20 are
non-caucassion (SP?), compared to 1 in 9? in the US), but
racism is a big, big concern here.
