I wouldn't say it's offensive, but it's just a bit dated. Like using the term oriental for asian people. It's just a matter of manners really and the context it is used that matters more.

The fact it changes all the time is part of the problem. Much like the word retarded. There are no real negative connotations of this word, as it just means slow, but because it is used to insult others they changed it into a mouthful of a term "developmentally disabled" which is so vague and arbitrary it will never last. I refuse to use the term African American myself because it's presumption is ridiculous. Assuming someone is african or american based on looks is pretty ignorant in itself. Where the word black is both neutral and makes no presumption.

I agree.

White people have different shades and colors of white. Many European white guys have brown dicks, are they considered white? Different shades and colors of "black" , etc. "Colored people" sounds ignorant because we're all colored, it's too broad a term nowadays, it literally means anyone IMO.

Wouldn't that make it incredibly hard to racially profile someone?

Uhh no, that isn't what i was talking about. I meant the word was out dated, not inaccurate or offensive. My example was quite clear of this. Changing the words constantly makes it pretty tough to be correct in the first place. Simplifying and generalizing is easier than avoiding what someone may find offensive at some point in the future.

Color me bad :pimp ...

I gave you more credit than you deserve. You're welcome.

My sentiments exactly. Why single them out for their race?

And if it can be perceived as racist, why be on here trying to seek assurance that it’s ok to say it?
