May 20, 20215 yr I've never heard of this saying till today. Was in a school earlier today and overheard a few teacher talking. A kid had a nasty blister caused in school somehow. A TA while speaking to the mother of the child at hometime called the blister a black man's pinch. Today the school received a 3 page complaint letter. It will be interesting to see how the school handles the complaint. Is it just me that has never heard of this saying and is it offensive?

No and you would need to ask a person of colour. As I don’t know how a middle aged white Person can find it offensive?

Either way, I'm sure a TA should know better than to use that sort of phrase, only asking for trouble really. Like you, I don't know if it's offensive or not, it probably is to some people and not to others.
May 20, 20215 yr Just now, radcliffewhite1 said: Never heard of it no doubt this will end in pages of how wrong it is I actually heard it a few months ago, the first time I'd heard it for years. The MiL said it, as she'd trapped her finger at work and had one of them horrible blood blisters

Can’t think what the term is to describe them though off the top of my head

May 20, 20215 yr https://forums.digitalspy.com/discussion/1008440/is-this-racist Same question asked 12 years ago Even more outdated now
May 20, 20215 yr some folk would have a heart attack if they saw my Robertsons Golly collection. madness
May 20, 20215 yr Is it fuck if you pinched your skin and it was a white mark, and you called it white mans pinch no one would bat an eyelid Fuckin nonsense
May 20, 20215 yr Never heard that phrase in my life before. And this is from someone who's dad always used to always respond to the question of, "where's mum?" with, "run off with a black man". Edited May 20, 20215 yr by Winchester White Bastard Autocorrect
May 20, 20215 yr Never heard the phrase but like others, I find it incomprehensible a TA would use this in conversation. It'd be interesting to know the skin colour of both the TA and the mother. Also, the opening post doesn't make it clear if the complaint came from the person the TA spoke to.

TA - White Mother - White The complaint came from the mother of child with - blister/black man's pinch.

May 20, 20215 yr Never heard of it before. Fucking stupid thing to say. I can only assume the TA is someone in their 50s or older. Probably refers to a colour of brown as "n*gger brown" and thinks there's nothing wrong with saying that. Probably not even racist either, just uneducated.
May 20, 20215 yr They should at least know what is and isn't acceptable otherwise how do they educate kids as to what is or isn't acceptable?
