What’s really interesting is that when she was elected to the Senate (no Republicans allowed on the ballot) she was hailed as the first “Indian (dot) American to be elected to that body. The same news source now claims she’s the first black to be a major party’s VP candidate.

...and?

Is "colored" now considered offensive, and if so, why? Do colored people know about this or is this something white liberals have decided for them?

Harris ‘colored?’

Did she fill in some outline drawing with Crayolas?

And if so, she should the strain, keeping it in the lines and all.,

Don’t they describe themselves as “people of color?” It’s not the term that’s offensive, it’s who used it.

If Kamala was smarter, she would tell that radio station that she was not offended, and the fellow should not lose his job over one minor mistake. He should be counseled instead. That would even impress some republicans.
But Noooooooo!

That reminds me:
Fred Sanford (to cop): I was robbed.
Cop: Was the robber colored?
Fred: Yes, white.

In South Africa those with Indian ancestry are referred to as colored and noone complains.

“... fired for using an offensive term to describe Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Kamala Harris...”

Did he call her “honest”?

Yeah, she’d probably find that offensive.

because it’s an absurd thing to complain about. It’s the sign of a society that has nothing better to do and too much time on its hands and has lost their collective minds

They chose Kamala for her race and gender. No one objected to having her as VP based on her race so they had to create “racial injustice” around her candidacy to motivate people to “prove” once again, after Obama’s 2 presidential victories, that you have to vote for her if you are NOT racist and if you don’t for her you ARE racist.

I was going to say this is generational thing. Many older acquaintances of mine still use the term “colored”. I can absolutely see why blacks would consider that term to be offensive. But my older acquaintances mean no disrespect. Like I said, it’s a generational thing.

But wait. This Cornell guy is only 26 years old. So for him it’s not a generational thing. It a gross stupidity thing. I don’t know if I’d want a grossly stupid person working for me.
