It's referring to someone as coloured meaning non white. What the hell does coloured
represent. Why is a blackman coloured but not a whiteman as white is a colour too. There is also historical reasons why coloured is not appropriate. With any racial words it depends on the context of how's it used. I would say 'people of colour' in reference to all people who are not white as ok. I also think that white people are more pink than white, so from now on I'm calling everyone who's white a bunch of pink un's.
How are you pinky's doing anyway?
