Did he tell you it was coloured or is he just pulling the wool over your eyes. Seriously though, there is a lady in Boston I know who comes from Africa (makes a change from Eastern Europe ) and she is black, not tinted, tanned, half cast, green or yellow, but black. I once referred to her as being coloured because I thought I may offend her if I said black. I thought she was going to kill the white idiot sitting next to her (me), she was so offended at being called coloured. I asked her what I should refer to her as. She said, very strongly, I am not coloured I am BLACK. She is the sort of black person you want in court defending you in a case of racial abuse. Its not being called black thats offensive its the four letter words people put in front of it that makes it bad.
