So, “coloreds”?...
I never cared for the term but this has to be a joke.
“People of Color” and “POC’s” were deemed racist last month.................
Down here in NC, they still use the term ‘Darkies’.
I don’t like “People of Color”.
Is “Crayola” acceptable?
If not, how about this:
“Splib
A non-derogatory word for black male, used by blacks and whites alike (even in mixed company), prevalent in the U.S. military in the 1960s and 1970s. As a member of the U.S. Marine Corps in Vietnam, I heard it constantly and it was used and received with the same sort of attitude as one might use “dude” today, except for the distinguishing fact that it did indeed refer to race, without being racist.

I always liked the word darkies. It’s a general term which can be applied to a broad spectrum of people without pointing the finger at one particular variety.
Yeah, right? For cryin’ out loud they go on loud and long calling themselves people of color’’ so why not call them ‘’coloreds’?
