No one kicked up a fuss when Sharon said it

Yet people are kicking up a fuss when Alesha says it?

Yeah, it wasn't racist at all. In fact the only reason WHY it's an issue seems to be because a black woman said it....

Nobody blinks an eye if someone's skin is described as fair or olive or caramel toned so it's dumb to get over this and honestly, it's just ignorant people acting like they're victimised so **** them.

I didn't see an issue with it? I didn't realise that using chocolate (in a positive way) could be an insult? Like no matter what colour, surely the fact that it's being used as a compliment is what really matters?

The world has honestly gone PC mad. She's black her self so she's not likely to be a ****ing racist.

The only people who would be offended by what she said are people looking to be offended and those people piss me off more than Alesha calling a black guy chocolate ever could

I don't see the problem.

That's not really the same thing, is it now?

I could call them a bunch of twats and not get a very nice response, but that's not a racist insult either?

How do you know they'd see it as racist?

What is racist about it?

They wouldn't like a stranger approaching them to simply call them "chocolate boys" but it doesn't make the comment itself racist.

How does it compare to referring to an act as "the black acts"??

What a stupid thing to say Alesha.

It's people being offended on other people's behalfs. This is typical of our culture
