colored
col ored |ˈkələrd ˈkələrd |(Brit. coloured ) ▶adjective 1 having or having been given a color or colors, esp. as opposed to being black, white, or neutral: brightly colored birds are easier to see | [ in combination ] : a peach-colored sofa. • imbued with an emotive or exaggerated quality: highly colored examples were used by both sides. 2 (also Colored ) wholly or partly of nonwhite descent (now considered offensive in the US ). • (also Coloured ) S. African used as an ethnic label for people of mixed ethnic origin, including African slave, Malay, Chinese, and white. • dated or offensive relating to people who are wholly or partly of nonwhite descent: a colored club. ▶noun 1 (also Colored ) dated or offensive a person who is wholly or partly of nonwhite descent. • (also Coloured ) S. African a person of mixed ethnic origin speaking Afrikaans or English as their mother tongue. 2 (coloreds ) clothes, sheets, etc. , that are any color but white (used esp. in the context of washing and color fastness ). usage: 1 Colored referring to skin color 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 Civil War. In the US, and in Britain (as coloured ), it was the accepted term until the 1960s, when it was superseded by black. The term colored lost favor among black people during this period and is now widely regarded as offensive except in historical contexts and in particular as part of the name of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People ). 2 In South Africa, the term coloured (also written Coloured ) has a different history. There it is used not as a synonym for black, but to refer to people of mixed-race parentage rather than to African peoples and their descendants. Under apartheid, it was imposed as an official racial designation. However, in modern use, the term is not generally considered offensive or derogatory.
