| Topic | Why is 'colored person' considered racist but 'person of color' isnt? |
| Jumpman81 08/08/19 2:07:31 PM #25 | I've never heard anyone under the age of 80 say "colored person." I don't think it's meant with any racist intent, it just sounds weird and archaic. Describing people of African descent as "black" didn't become a thing until the 60s (or maybe late 50s?) and before then "colored" was the only polite alternative to saying the n-word. |
