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.
