I could never understand how a blackboard suddenly had to be a chalkboard. After all it was a black board, which was written on with chalk.
When my son was in junior school, he had a friend who was called Chocka by everyone, and I asked my son why. He said it was because his friends surname was Brown. It was ages afterwards when I met his friend that I found out he was black. To my son he was not a certain colour, he was just his friend. I think there are too many 'politically correct ' people around these days, sometimes causing problems with their opinions of what is right or wrong.
