I am thinking a nice shade of Blue...
I have the formula for the blue skin virus, but it has a horrible flaw, once infected the person has an attraction to making and playing musical instruments that are made out of PVC pipe....
Coward
Is “person of color” still OK?
I have a friend from South Africa. He refers to himself as Colored because he is of mixed race.
Sooo, what does the NAACP stand for again?
The NAACP doesn’t seem to have a problem with it.
Yet, modern self references to “people of color”, “women of color”, etc., is somehow less offensive? Yeah sure.
Jeebers, in my lifetime, “colored”, “Negro”, “Afro American”, “Black”, “African American” “people of color” have all been rotated through.
Just pick one and stick to it, I say.

I grew up in 1956-1966 rural Georgia, and I loved Mom's fried chicken and Grandpa's watermelons and I never once heard or saw any sort of "dehumanizing caricature" made of them regarding the black folks we knew or any black folks in general.
Maybe it once upon a time was, but did it ever occur to anyone that, if you have to explain it every time you mention it, that you're just perpetuating the thing that you're decrying?
Good, because he should of said “coloured”! Sheesh!
“semantic change”
Everything is racist if the want it to be. Nothing is racist if they don’t want it to be.
If “white” is acceptable, then “colored” must be acceptable.
And if you aren’t 21, “boy” might very well apply.
When people stop reacting to their nonsense, it will stop.
