**O-Face**

Friday H and I were at SIL/BILs house having dinner.  H and BIL were outside while SIL, myself and Nephew were inside.  I heard a noise outfront and asked, "what was that?".

Her response?

"Probably my colored neighbors". 

O lord, I asked her to repeat herself because I thought I heard her wrong.

Nope.  That's what she said.

I almost choked and fell off my chair.

Tell her we aren't colored anymore.

Oh geez.

My friend's ex bf said "colored" one time. They were at Banana Republic, and the cashier asked who helped him and he said, "Oh, the colored guy in the back".

She was ready to die.

**O-Face**

I will tell her tonight, NOLA.

I bet if I would have delved, she would have pulled the "oh, but I have colored friends, I SWEAR!".  ::smh::

Are they one-eyed one-eared flying purple people eaters? Or perhaps decendents of the Hulk? Maybe it's that creepy blue naked guy from the Watchmen.

Our elderly neighbors across the street still use "colored" and they use Mexican in a derogatory way. Ex. "Those Mexicans never take care of their yard."

GMIL apparently still uses "colored" and was aghast that it was considered a racist remark when MIL pointed it out. She was all, "That's just the word we used back in the day! I'm not racist!"

I would have asked what color they were.  "Do you live next door to the Blue Man Group?"
