You can't have a blackboard in schools any more, it's a chalkboard. I think it's offensive to black people to assume that they all have such heightened sensitivity that the word "black" can't be used. It does imply that "black" is a derogatory term - how's that for racist then.

Oh, and while I remember, some years back Lambeth Council banned a road safety campaign from its schools, because it was racist. Can anyone tell me what was racist about Tufty the Squirrel???
