Text to my one British friend: Proper race terminology.

The other day me and my one half-British half-African friend were making plans to play Scrabble - his sister bought a set, and so they've been playing it a lot; his sister and brother-in-law live in the same neighborhood - and after that, I was thinking of the spelling of British words that are different from American, and then I got really please with myself and sent him a joking text -


Quick question - is it okay to call a non-caucasian from england a "person of colour"?



- to which he texted back -


Yeah, that's fine. Why?



...he didn't even get the joke...
