A BLACK MAN WALKS INTO A CAFE EARLY ONE MORNING AND NOTICES HE'S THE ONLY ONE THERE
AS HE SAT DOWN HE NOTICED A WHITE MAN SAT BEHIND HIM, THE WHITE MAN SAID "COLOURED PEOPLE ARN'T ALLOWED IN HERE" .
THE BLACK MAN REPLIED...
"WHEN I WAS BORN I WAS BLACK
WHEN I GREW UP I WAS BLACK
WHEN I'M SICK I'M BLACK
WHEN I GO IN THE SUN I'M BLACK
WHEN I'M COLD I'M BLACK
AND WHEN I DIE I'M BLACK.
BUT YOU SIR...
WHEN YOU WERE BORN YOU WERE PINK
WHEN YOUR'E SICK YOUR'E GREEN
WHEN YOU STAY IN THE SUN YOUR'E RED
WHEN YOUR'E COLD YOU TURN BLUE
AND WHEN YOU DIE YOU TURN "PURPLE."
"AND YET YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO CALL ME COLOURED"
THE BLACK MAN TURNED BACK AROUND AND THE WHITE MAN WALKED AWAY.

You are absolutely right of course - in physics the colours black and white are described as follows:-
A black body is a perfect absorber of light and while black is commonly referred to as a color, is in actuality the absence of color.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/black
White is the colour of things that reflect light of all parts of the visible spectrum equally (more accurately, it contains all the colors of the visible spectrum)
