people. I think white people should be called colored people. They are white but turn tan when tanned, red when mad, blue when dead, pink when they blush. I'm not dogging on white people, it's just funny how white people called blacks colored people back when.

yea, its true. its lame, mainly since the guy who originaly said it in a "whites only" resturant still didn't get served. but we shouldn't have to dwell on the past anymore, it's 2006 and everyone is "equally" racist to each other now. that was offensive, and im vietnamese.

I guess it is because when they were brought to America from Africa,there were only white (caucausians) here, except for the Indian, who was titled a red man.....So in order to seperate their culture, we called them colored...I don't know who came up with the word.....but it certainly is better than the n word....

Do white people call blacks 'colored?'
I haven't heard that expression in decades.
