Crazy - I read this earlier and for the life of me can't think what is racist about "coloured". The problem is fools like him apologising does nothing but encourage the PC morons who have nothing better to do than trawl through their "social media" crap looking for perceived racism & non pc ism - the UK public sector employs thousands doing just that

If it genuinely offends black people then it shouldn't be used and I do seem to remember some aggro a few years back when a politician used the term.
However I find it a wee bit contradictory that America's foremost African American civil rights group is called the NAACP which stands for The National Association for the Advancement of COLORED People

Black, What constitutes black ?
Example: Barack Obama is often referred to as black, but why? His mother was white, his father black, so he is maybe black and white. The whole thing is stupid. A person who is not white - let's forget the pink tones - can be practically any shade from almost white to very black. So what's wrong with saying coloured, black, Asian, Chinese etc.? Providing it is just to describe the skin colour and not intended as an insult!

It's just a load of bull!
How about saying just a little darker than grey?
Or a darker shade of grey. And for those at the other end of the scale, a lighter shade of pale

When I was serving police office in UK (and I'm sure it's worse now than it was then) we used to be confronted with the ridiculous situation where, if we asked a witness for a description of a suspect, they would describe everything about the person, but not the most obvious, the colour of their skin.

The world is overcrowded with paranoid or oversensitive 'victims'.
It is all about INTENT, and of course common sense.

Yes no one should use the 'n' word. But at the end of the day we are all coloured - just different shades. I'm a white honkey.

I change colour throughout the year, depending on how log I spend in the sun. Maybe I should be classed as 'alternative fluctuating pigmentation' rather than coloured!

Cumberbatch was sticking up for black people too but this conveniently gets unnoticed. Instead some troublemaking berks decide to open up another can of worms.

Anyone else remember the original Dambusters film in which the black labrador was called Nigger, I think they renamed him Digger for the remake

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigger_%28dog%29
Nigger was portrayed in the 1955 British war film The Dam Busters, in which he was mentioned by name frequently.In 1999, British television network ITV broadcast a censored version of the film, with all instances of the name removed. ITV blamed regional broadcaster London Weekend Television, which in turn alleged that a junior staff member had been responsible for the unauthorised cuts. When ITV again showed a censored version in June 2001, it was criticised by Index on Censorship as "unnecessary and ridiculous" and because the edits introduced continuity errors.[5][6][7] The code word "nigger" transmitted in Morse Code upon the successful completion of the central mission was not censored. More recently, in 2012, ITV3 have shown the film uncut a few times, but with a warning at the start that it contains racial terms from the period which some people may find offensive. However, in 2013 the film has been shown a few times by Channel 5 uncut and without any warning.
Some edited American versions of the film use dubbing to change Nigger's name to Trigger
