If a painter were to paint every person, the painter would need colors of paint to paint the people.
My mom uses the term 'colored', when she does, I tell her she's colored too.
I've never met someone who was all white, or all black (though the guy from the movie POWDER was nearly all white)

Technically everyone is a personof color due to the melonen count in every human, wether it is at a minimum i.e (some Europeans) or at a maximum i.e (some Africans). " The rest of us fall in between the two".
However we do not neccessarily always live in a technical world. Most of the time we live in a political world, in which the term "people of color" in general is known to mean people whos ancestory does not stem directly from European countries. Commonly refered to in America as people of non white or non European descent. We are all familiar with the boxes..black white asian and other. The only white dude I knew was Casper..and hell the older I get the more I begin to wonder if Casper was a dude.

Yes. When I paint people, all people, I stick pretty close to the same hue of brown with varying degrees of white mixed in. White people are a kind of orangey brown with white.

honestly, even white is a color, in fact its a blend of all colors.
and what you talk about is the case because all americans are either racist, or regard everything as being racist. society sucks.
and yes, everyone IS colored
if someone wasnt colored, it would technecally be black people because the color black is the absense of color. its what you see when nothing exists.
but most commonly when people say "colored", they mean "black"
interesting eh?

I totally agree with you, but I think it's not meant to be taken literally, you can also inform your mother that black is the absence of color and white is all the colors together, according to lighting anyway, and our eyes sees like the lights. primary colors are red, green, and blue. mix them all toghether and you'll get white. and to be even more anal about this you can also say that for instance,that i'm creamy beige with an olive undertone. this sounds like colors to me.

i guess they used the term colored because brown people come in a very light shade and a very dark shade of brown, therefore to ensure they could be segregated properly they came up with the term colored.

What does it mean if I'm white and I'm only into asian girls? Does that make me racist against my own race - or racist against myself?
Sorry to answer a question with a question. Just seems like something to think about.

Unless someone is transparent, everyone is colored.
