How do you even accidentally say that? Does anyone under 70 even use that term?

Honestly what’s the difference? There is none. “Of colour” vs “coloured” ... my god it’s the definition of a distinction without a difference and just another cudgel to hit white people and non-kneelers with.

"Colored" was used to mark things for blacks during segregation.

Colored

So I can actually understand the dislike of it.

Wow, downvoting a verifiable fact. This place is officially full of retards.

So then why say people of color if it’s so offensive?
