Oh god. Who let the SJ Warrior in?
White Papers [0] are the finalised policy documents published by UK government. They follow on from Green Papers [1], which are the preceding consultation documents.
For many years people have believed that these two terms innocently referred to the fact that the draft documents were printed on green paper [as a visible sign they were not finalised] and the final policy documents were printed on white paper as er... this is sort of the default colour of paper.
However, thanks to the crusading efforts of people like pidgin123, we now realise that green papers are species-ist against Martians and white papers are white supremacist. Therefore, from now on, all government papers will be printed in black ink on black paper and referred to as "Papers of Colo[u]r"
