Funny you say this, had someone I know who is in their 20's recently refer to themselves as "a colored person". They weren't black but of another ethic group. I cringed when they said it. I asked my 20 something daughter if that was actually okay to say these days. She said it was something being reclaimed, but you still can't say it as a white person, unless you are British. :-)

Absolutely is. Just a different voicing.

I’m still waiting for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to “review” their name.
