What Do You Say

One of the problems that many of us have is how do you refer descriptively to a person’s colour, so as to indicate something.

At the football at Ipswich, my neighbour and I, who like me is white and late 50s, often get lost for words, as to how you would point out a footballer on the opposing team. How do you say for instance, that black right back is good, without offending anyone?

You never have problems with your own team, as you refer to them by name.
