23. Not politically correct in the US, generally speaking
Instead of "colored person" say
"person of color".

See the huge difference?


Bleah.... sometimes keeping up with what is PC is a pain. On the other hand, I don't like offending people so I try...

Actually I prefer the term "person" to "black person" or "African-American person" or whatever.
