Its Not All Black And White

The term "White Flight" originated in the United States, starting in the 1950s and 1960s, and applied to the large-scale migration of people of various European ancestries from racially mixed urban regions to more racially homogeneous suburban or exurban regions. This is often linked to what is sometimes termed the 'Great Migrations' of the African-American populations.

Black And White Ideal ... Socially United 1950's and 1960's

Until the early 20th century, more than 90 percent of the African-American population lived in the American South, and four-fifths were living in rural agrarian areas. However by the end of the first and second waves of the great migrations, while 53 percent of the African-American population remained in the South, 40 percent lived in the North.

Gender Neutral

Recently I was about to use the term 'cheeky monkeys' to describe two workers in the office who regularly take other teams treats without asking. By treats I mean team cakes or sweets etc.

'Cheeky Monkey' No Longer Innocent Expression?

However I had to check my mouth because the workers concerned were Indians. I could therefore be pulled up for using a racial insult, because they are brown skinned ... (actually I would be suspended for then telling someone to f*ck off when they tried to pull me up about 'cheeky monkeys') ... so I said something more 'racially neutral' ... I can't recall what .... probably 'thieving t*ats' ... 😈
