How insulting is Colored (vs. African American)

I NEVER at any point implied that people should know. I was stating my preference. And no, I don't have pointy ears, or an accent, or a forehead ridge, or blue skin (been watching a lot of Star Trek lately) or some other random distinguishing feature. I don't expect people to know off the bat. I wouldn't expect someone to automatically tell someone from any one European country (or any other for that matter) apart from another one by visual alone either. I'm not asking anyone to do the impossible.

Thank you Dr. Phil for setting her straight.

There was a few references to the term "Asians".

I have found an amusing little clip from Russell Peters, where he (rightfully) points out that India is also part of Asia. Enjoy!

This is already considered common knowledge and is reflected in almost all vital statistics, including the U.S. Bureau of the Census.

The main race categories are white, Black or African American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian (which includes East Indian), and Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander.

LMDAO.

I have issues with Coldstone. They slap your ice cream around on that board, throw things into it, stir it, and then slap it some more. I kinda feel like they had the fun with it and I have to pay for its drinks and take it home.

I set you straight!

I can't get the imagery out of my head now. I used to get the peanuts and caramel. Seeing them smack it around was funny. I only wanted peanuts and caramel SPRINLED ON TOP. I didn't need it throughout.

That's why a simple McDonald's cone or caramel sundae sometimes does the trick. It satisfies the craving without the fuss and excessive serving size.
