It is if you put your words in the right order:
Person of color - A-OK
Colored person - you racist
It's weird.
I have, however, always liked this poem I got from Ann Landers:
"How Come"..
When I was born I was black,
When I grew up I was black,
When I'm sick I'm black,
When I go out into the sun I'm black,
When I die I'll be black ...
But You:
When you were born you were pink,
when you grow up you are white ,
When you get sick you are green,
When you go out in the sun you are red,
When you go out in the cold you are blue,
When you die you turn purple...
and you call me colored?
