A St. Louis television station is under fire after an anchor “mistakenly” described minority homeowners using an “outdated, offensive and racist” term.
Television station KMOV issued an apology for using the term on Feb. 26 while previewing a story about racial bias on home appraisals, according to reports.
“Tonight, colored homeowners are sounding the alarm when it comes to undervalued home appraisals,” anchor Cory Stark, who is white, said on air.
JD Sosnoff, KMOV vice president and general manager, and Stark tried to do damage control over the apparent slip-up as criticism grew over the cringe remark.
“It was in an original script as ‘homeowners of color’ and was inadvertently changed and mistakenly read on air,” Sosnoff said, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Exactly. They are always saying “people of color”. When you think about it, not a dime’s worth of difference there.
Fat people: offensive
People of size: (correct term) dignified
Kind of like the difference between “blue jeans” and “jeans of blue.”
Yup. I recall seeing white water fountains and colored water fountains but to me they all look like white porcelain, though some were stainless steel and more silvery.
Sounds like six of one and a half dozen of the other....
Can you imagine living life occupied... no, CONSUMED by a perpetual drive to monitor words people use (or even the order in which they use them), periodically redefine them, feign offense or harm if they’re uttered, and to sound the alarm bells that an unpardonable act has thereby been committed? What a sad, pathetic, self-faux-victimized existence.
My dad who hadn’t been around black people until WWII usually referred to them as “colored guys”. I used to tease him about “What color were they?” It was a common term and no one was the least bit offended by it.
Now of course “colored people” will cost you your job, while “people of color” is perfectly fine.
We’ve become a nation of low-IQ sheeple.
My neighbors are a mixed couple: husband Ashkenazi Jewish and wife ethnically Chinese and converted to Judaism.
He’s a tall, athletic, good-looking, guy. She’s petite and very pretty. Both doctors.
They both get crap, saying he had “yellow fever”, where Asian girls are objectified.
No, he likes smart pretty women. The one he fell in love with and married happened to be Chinese. I’d posit that Asians tend to be more driven than the typical Anglo-American, and tend to watch their figure better, if anything.
They were saying it was really more common for Asian girls to have “white fever”, but apparently no one is allowed to say that. Asian girls tend to like tall, smart, manly, athletic guys who treat them well. There are a lot more white guys that fit that category than Asian guys in the USA.
In short, Asian girls “objectify” white guys no more or less than white guys are objectifying Asian girls, but in the modern era, racial complaints are only directed at white people.
This is no longer acceptable to the Left, both Black and white.:
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
Well WTH does NAACP stand for? Does the organization no longer exist?
Whatever happened to the benefit of grace? The guy made an innocent mistake reading off the teleprompter. It’s not like there is evidence this guy is some sort of secret KKK Wizard mastermind.
This should have been a non-story. Instead it’s a depressing comment on how fractured our society has become and how hardcore people have to look to invent racial animus.
At least he didn’t call them the N word.... “Neighbors”
They are saying his remarks were “off color?”
Nationwide
Agitated
Africans
Chasing
Payoffs
Scratching my head, does it ever stop with these assholes? Every week the names are changed. Nobody, ever talks about white trash, crackers, Karens, red necks, etc. Solution call people whatever you like.
I wonder do Latinos see people of color as themselves or blacks alone ? Colored or Negro were never intended as slurs or terms of abuse, they are simply associated with an ugly past of being abused.
People of ebullient lipids?
It's a complete enigma.
