“Good Morning America” co-anchor Amy Robach has apologized for saying “colored people” on Monday’s broadcast of the ABC program.
“We no longer use the term colored people, although once upon a time that was a term in use,” McDowell said. “Now the preferred usage is people of color ..."

“You can say ‘people of color’ but you can’t say ‘colored people’. “
In the former, people is used first; in the latter colored is used first.
Whitey’s Fault!
Except for the inconvenient fact that there’s no victimhood payoff to it, should I insist on being included in the group, People of White?
Some time ago, it was agreed in these precincts that People of Hump was the PC version of that old slur, hunchback.
Meanwhile is sexistville.
Not guilty.
“So, I suppose the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People also objects to the term Colored People?”
It needs to be NAAA, Nat. Assoc. of African Americans.
I’m a person of color. Sort of a beige.
Lamont: “Was the guy colored?”
Fred Sanford: “Yeah, he was colored. He was colored white!”

Black is not a color; a black object absorbs all the colors of the visible spectrum and reflects none of them to the eyes.

And there it is.
Please do not use “butt bangers” and “end” in the same paragraph.
“People of Color” is such a progressive erudite way of expressing it, but “Colored People” is ignorant and offensive.
Get it?
