  - Nope. My Grandmother used to use the word Colored, and Oriental. Not for bad reasons, but because it was just in her vocabulary. - Redmond Feb 12, 22:15 2
    - OK, sure, but I think that is a little different than saying, "hey, folks, some of us white folks think this Image Awards is causing problems." - TFox Feb 12, 22:18 1
