"a person of colour"
Just a recent observation on UK TV is that within the last two months (give or take)the presenters now use the term "a person of colour".
Until that point, it would seem that the politically correct term was "black", and before that "coloured".
I am always interested to know who concludes what it the politically correct term and who concludes when something that was politically correct is no-more and thus offensive.
It makes me wonder how long it is before the term "a person of colour" is seen to be offensive and what the next term will be.
