But do keep in mind that the term "colored" was once OK (witness NAACP). But then that was bad, and you had to say "black". But then that was bad, and you had to say "African American".

Yes, but in addition, between "colored" and "black" was "Afro-American."

In the world of PC, black people get to be "African-American"...red people get to be "Native-American"...yellow people get to be "Asian-American"...brown people get to be "Hispanic", etc. and white people are just...well..."white".
