Colored has been considered an offensive term for a long time because of it's prominent usage in the days of segregation.


People or person of color was a term that was coined within the civil rights movement itself back in the 60's.
"coloured person" was completely acceptable as recently as the 1990s though... at least where I'm from, but maybe we're racist as shit (not really). It was a completely politically correct term. The grammatical switch to "people of colour" as being the nouveau acceptable term, while the other is now offensive is completely retarded, as you literally aren't saying anything different, just switching the wording around. "We aren't coloured, we're of colour". It's silly. And even if it technically began in the 1960's, it's only really caught on recently. The 1960s way felt more like an attempt at stilted, fancy-pants phrasing than a genuine reaction to "coloured people"... Anywho...

In the Dark Tower series, at one point two of the characters (who come from different time periods of the USA) discuss the proper terminology for a black person.

The black woman from the 60's insists on the term "negro" and that "black" is derogatory. The white guy from the 80's tells her that where he comes from, calling a black person a negro is a sure way to get your ass kicked.

How incredibly insightful. It's almost as if words change, and had they gone 500 years further in either direction people probably wouldn't even know what the fuck they were talking about at all. Kerrrrazy stuff.... You should hop in your TARDIS and go tell people in London in 1899 to stop bullying. You'll get your ass kicked! It'll be fucking wizard, you cunt. Don't worry in 20 years cunt means a guy who's awesome!

Close to the record. I saw a 10 foot one when I was air boating in the everglades. Fucking thing was hooked on marshmallows from the local wildlife guys showing it off (Would hang around boats waiting for them). In Florida, even the gators of Diabetes. =-/
