My old phone is knackered so my sister has given me her old Iphone 4. It's a decent enough phone but it's white.
Is that allowable or do I need to get the casing changed to black?
Is it acceptable for a bloke to have a white Iphone?

Re: Is it acceptable for a bloke to have a white Iphone?
I would imagine there is a serious issue here regarding racism as you've got something white on your hands. I'd be looking at the possibility of an Iphone being some indication of white supremacy if I were you as it is a market leading device.
I have a similar problem I'm wresting with at the moment regarding painting a garage door. I would like to do it in black because it would naturally fit as well as not show up any dirt in the way a white door would. But blackboards were deemed racist many years ago because they were black. If fear if I paint this garage door black just like a blackboard would be , it might be offensive to people of certain ethnic backgrounds.
From what I can understand, all black people, or as they are now called 'people of colour' , which in no way is like calling them 'coloured people' which was definitely offensive , are totally behind the non use of black as a colour.
I think you should ditch your racist phone and go for a race-neutral colour like silver. There are no silver people about other than David Bowie back in the 70's and members of the group KISS.

Claiming you have black friends is no longer an acceptable excuse for your engrained institutional racism.

Of course it fucking isn't acceptable.
Take a long hard look at yourself, Dearie.

I haven't really got black friends. Or a white phone.
Joke's on you, cap'n.

If you've got a black phone you're guilty of appropriation and therefore still a racist. I'm also afraid any further attempts at reason also prove you're a racist. Reason is a white construct.

As I say you need a silver phone over there in Russia where any other colour could cause offence.

That's a very good point.
It's still a relatively neat layout for a post with malfunctioning quotes. None of that /quote] bollocks, so i'll leave it to stand

I take that back. I have edited your sneaky little bit at the end, The End.
Later I will edit further and make it look like you've misread the quotes and deny everything.

I am, yes.
I have tried to point this out in my avatar over the last 8 years.
