However I did think her reply quite brilliant. Some might say she was being touch pedantic. I think she has every right to be. Half-caste' is an offensive and derogatory way to refer to people who are of mixed parentage. Okay, so I didn t use that term, but the case still remains - how she wants to be categorised is her choice and not mine to make.
Some people even take offence to the term ' mixed race'.
Again I believe, fair enough. Some of us don t like to be referred to as Asian. And what about those amongst us from Uganda and Kenya, sometimes known as East African Asians. The point is that it doesn t end. It s constantly evolving as society evolves.
