why not? white skin is a lack of pigmentation. fact. anything NOT white has pigmentation, aka color. it is merely a physical description. there is nothing not nice about it. it is fact. thats like saying, you shouldnt call me white because i dont have any color.

if you wish, i could refer to them as pigmented. though they probably wouldnt like that either as soon as they found out what it means.

I actually wasn't joking.

It's not about the "factual" meaning that you tried to give me. It's about the past behind using the terminology. Using colored is not politically correct. Just saying.

You could have said the area is very MULTICULTURAL or white people are the minority in this area. When you are trying to have a serious topic of conversation, you need to choose your words carefully or else people won't ever get to the point you are trying to make. If you don't know that it's ignorant to use "colored" then you are just that...ignorant. I am glad I could be of service by informing you of that

again

p.s. I ain't mad atcha. I'm just passing the time while making a point.
