A never-ending discussion. When I came to the UK, ‘Black’ was anyone who had darker skin. Then it was divided between ‘Asian’, meaning people from the Indian sub-continent, and ‘Black’ meaning people either directly from or descended from Africa or the Caribbean (often referred to as the West Indies). It would be interesting to do a survey of peoples of West Indian/Caribbean origins/descent and ‘dark-skinned’ peoples who have lived here for generations, what they would like to be called.
