    That’s fucking hilarious. Dude probably meant to say “people of color” but who knows that might even be offensive these days. It probably should be if “colored people” is considered offensive. They keep changing terms for shit and normal people can’t keep up with everything. Get over it.

      Keep up with everything… Colored hasn’t been an inappropriate way to refer to black people since 1970’s. If fifty plus years is too short for you to figure it out maybe you’re just a racist. Maybe work on getting over that puto.
