richardc316 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Looks a BL**DY good player to be playing for Haringey Borough! With thoses stats he would be a decent championship player. Could just be a nephew or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, hes on loan from Chelsea (Klinsmann used to be manager there till Dec 2015) It is extremely offensive to call non-white people coloured. Can you ammend that please. Thanks What shall I call them then? Please stop derailing the thread, troll. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djwilko6 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 It is extremely offensive to call non-white people coloured. Can you ammend that please. Thanks Excuse me? I know plenty of "non-whites" that call themselves coloured, I've also seen "celebrities" call themselves coloured. I can certainly think of worse words he could have said.

antonyhoggan Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I'm not intending to derail the thread. My Mrs is part Nigerian and assures me that it is rude to call non-white people coloured. I've made that mistake on a few occasions. But whatever's clever. It's not the worst choice of word, but it's not exactly complementary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elrithral Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Is this the place for a race debate? Poor choice of word, but lets get on with it and no need to go down that route, it will only end in bickering and infractions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GillsMan Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 It's generally best to not label non-white people as 'coloured' as there are certain negative connotations, although it's not the most offensive thing you could say. It's similar to half-caste which used to be acceptable but, like "coloured" is now considered quite dated, so let's end the debate there and talk about FM again please. Cheers.

wilhdoeb Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Born 12/11/1996, wasn't Klinsmann at Tottenham 9 months before? That would make sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

50_kwache Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I'm afraid you should use "ethnic group" either (not sure wh) The phrase BME (Black and Minority Ethnic) Community is preferred according to the latest government Equality and Diversity policies.

Scoham Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 As Klinsmann isn't a player in the game, he has no skin colour set (as that's only for players), so that's not really the games fault. Not sure why he's English and born in England though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomis07 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Not sure why he's English and born in England though! Wasn't this an issue in 08, the son would be from the country his father was currently managing in, no matter how long the father had been managing there e.g. you could manage in Germany for 30 years, move to Italy and have a son immediately, the son could be Italian.
