Meredith Necker-

You weren't being racist by your comment. It's evident that the term racist has taken on a meaning beyond what it's true definiton is, so as a refresher here we go:

Main Entry: rac·ism
Pronunciation: 'rA-"si-z&m also -"shi-
Function: noun

a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

Uh please explain why using the word "colored" has anything to do with the above?
