"Colored" used to be a word used to refer to negroes, that is, when they were called negro, which is a synonym for black. Now you can't say negro and you can't say colored (which I never did anyway), but you can say black and "of color" which imples "whites" have NO color. What to do.....

I can't stand that term 'people of color'. Yeah really what to do... whatever people want to call themselves is fine with me. But I think it's getting ridiculous with being politically correct
