She is being criticised for using the word 'coloured' when referring to Obama. I was just wondering what is the term she should've used. Should she have said 'black'? I am seriously curious because I suppose I would've said 'coloured' too. link here

She should have said 'black'. We are all 'coloured' differently ifyswim, so it's now considered an offensive term to use to describe black people.
