i feel like, at 83, "colored" is what was used growing up. i mean, "colored" is probably better than other terms he heard coming up.
if someone called me colored... they would get the blankest stare. its up there with calling an Asian "oriental."
Well...better "colored" than the other word.

This is a matter of opinion and people see this differently. For me, "Colored" is right up there with the other word...not much difference. And I don't want to be called or refered to as that by anyone, not even an 83 year old man/woman and I will kindly (at first) tell a person not to call me that no matter how they grew up or what they're used to. I have that right. Some people have had more experiences with racism than others and that could be a reason for the different feelings and perceptions.
