COLOUR
“It don't matter if you're black or white”, that’s what Michael Jackson told us in the 1990s. Unfortunately, he wasn’t completely correct. Of course, it shouldn’t matter whether you’re black or white, but in some cases it still very much does. Did you know that black and white aren’t actual colours? They’re the absence and the presence of light respectively. When you take the 3 primary colours (in paint), blue, yellow, and red, you can make many secondary and tertiary colours, but you’ll never be able to make a true black or white. So does the phrase ‘people of colour’ even make sense?
