So, I've heard that calling christmas lights "White" and "Colored" is no longer politically correct. Instead they suggest you use "lights" and "festive lights."
What do you think of this? Let the debates begin!

In case you're a little confused...
It's considered Racially Offensive. Yep. That's what's happening to the world these days!

AND by the way, I didn't make this up. I've honestly heard it. I disagree strongly with it myself, but that's what people are saying these days.

Sigh, rolling my eyes, sigh.
Honestly, is this just another marketing scheme?

If humanity had not become so segrated in the first place, these words would not sound racist. Now it is very hard to say things without being accused of offending anyone. Colored lights are lights with colors.

Well I would say its getting out of hand. Eventually there will be a backlash. Look what happened with the feminist movement. They went too far with the "it should be a peoplehole cover not a manhole cover" thing and paid the price.

I think it is, but the way you use it might be offensive. For me I say colorful or bright lights.

I think that people are taking PC a little to far. Like instead of saying Ba Ba Black sheep, we are now to say BA BA rainbow sheep because it is more PC. i feel that some things should remain the same.
