Bank leaders are discouraging the words 'black market', 'male', 'female' and other phrases that could be deemed offensive in what critics have slammed as the latest example of 'woke nonsense'.
UK Finance - a trade body for British bankers and those in financial services - has issued a guide on language which includes banning term 'black market' and replacing it with 'illegal market', despite it being a commonly used for generations.
The guide says the phrase could be seen as racial bias or discrimination. Similarly, suggest the word 'slave' be changed to 'secondary' when discussed in the sector.
