A St. Louis television station is under fire after an anchor “mistakenly” described minority homeowners using an “outdated, offensive and racist” term.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.

I gotta stop asking “how stupid can people get”... They are taking it as a challenge... It's like making something "idiot proof". That only allows the evolution of more perfect idiots...

“colored homeowners”
“homeowners of color”
“toeh-mah-toe”
“tuh-may-toe”
Honestly?
Now lets get down to serious matters: how many angels can dance on the head of pin?

Gotta love how the story quotes someone from the NAACP, an organization with “colored” in its name. Although I already know, the writer doesn't say what NAACP stands for, else they get labeled as, well, something bad.

At least the NAACP didn’t have a problem with it.

No. This is a deliberate program to attack everyone who can be attacked — to show their power. This is what bullies do — ALWAYS.

Sounds like the crew pulled a prank on the guy and changed his teleprompter script. Shades of Ron Burgundy.
