Yep that's me! And then lovely people like to point that I'm blushing, so I blush even more. Damn my colouring. 
Quote: Tim Walker @ November 7 2009, 4:59 PM GMTReally that phrase seems to include everyone other than albinos.
Quite. But it's surely less applicable to the people it's used to refer to, than those it's not? If I understood GCSE physics correctly, black is an absence of colour, whilst white is all colour. And whilst no one is literally black and no one literally white (even albinos are a kind of grey-ish hue, right?), surely 'white' people are close to white...? Well, you get my point.

Ah, blushing on girls is endearing. Just like freckles and ginger hair.

Try giving a witness statement with this theory though.
"We're on the look out for a black male..."
"No, I said coloured."
"Asian?"
"No, white. White is all the colours."
"Mixed race?"
"No, white!"
"We're on the look out for a rainbow man..."
Just say brown, pink, albino or grey. Easy!
"Can you describe the man?"
"He was a pink man."
"We're on the look out for Phil Mitchell..."

Shouldn't be difficult to pick Morrace out of a line-up.
I usually refuse to put my ethnic orgins on forms, etc. There's no boxes that exactly fit me, some of my ethnic origins are unknown plus how far back do they want to know?
I always make sure I tick white, 'cos my surname might make a racist type chuck my application in the shredder.
I just likes to cover all bases.

Ha! I always think they'd be following positive discrimination. I sometimes feel like putting 'eczema' under disabilities.
I wonder if anyone gets offended when their religion isn't on there and they have to tick 'other' like it's inferior.

Ha, I have once or twice hoped for a bit of that to float my way, I must admit.
Meat.
