Only pointing it out this time because you used what is considered to be the appropriate term for (what I figure you're talking about) people of Korean,Japanese, and Korean background.

When I meet people who use the "colored" term in this country, it's generally a person of a certain age and/or regional origin(South, deep South specifically)...and nine times out of ten they use "old school" terms when referring to other groups of people also.

I don't and can't speak for all Africans in the diaspora, and people define themselves using different terms...but "colored" ain't one of them....unless you're talking about American Black folks who are or 75 years of age or older.


I'm really not sure about all these terms. I meant African Americans, Asians, and Native Americans. Also, I've been to B'ham Alabama and I spent a lot of time with older people. So there you have it. I'm sorry that it was not an appropriate term.
