Leaves you wondering, doesn’t it? So if I called a black person a ‘’colored person’’ would they be offended?

That’s the funny thing here. “People of color” and “colored people” mean exactly the same thing, even using the same words. So how is one “racist” and the other one the proper use of the words “people” and “color”?

I’ve actaully thought of using the phrase “colored guy” about a black man and see what people say. I’ll just tell them that its eadier than saying “guy of color” and besides, it is the same words and means the same thing - and maybe they should think before condemning another person’s speech.
