African a person of mixed descent usually speaking Afrikaans or English as their mother tongue. 2 (coloureds ) clothes, sheets, etc. that are any colour but white. usage: Coloured referring to skin colour is first recorded in the early 17th century and was adopted in the US by emancipated slaves as a term of racial pride after the end of the American Civil War. In Britain it was the accepted term until the 1960s, when it was superseded (as in the US ) by black. The term coloured lost favour among black people during this period and is now widely regarded as offensive except in historical contexts. In South Africa the term coloured (also written Coloured ) has a different history. It is used to refer to people of mixed-race parentage rather than, as elsewhere, to refer to African peoples and their descendants (i.e. as a synonym for black ). Under apartheid it was imposed as an official racial designation. However, in modern use the term is not generally considered offensive or derogatory.
