How, exactly, does that end up in the arsenal of vernacular that someone uses in their toolkit?
Maybe he meant "people of color" which is perfectly acceptable. It's sad when a slip of this nature is news. Then again this is xuen so it's expected. Still not discussion worthy.

You just highlighted exactly how stupid it all is. Thanks for that.

He made a mistake and copped to it. There's a story here? Other than someone is willing to take responsibility for an error?
"Nothing to see here folks". Yeah, not gonna work. Not after a whole month of Stormy, sorry.
Yes there's a story here. Yet another Dem representative once again outed himself as a racist. Democrats have a hard time addressing people as people first, they see skin color first.

Only difference is one is considered derogatory and the other is not. Why that is I'm not sure.
Probably cause most people are #in stupid

And yet, here you are, discussing it.
Also, I am not American and I don't really understand why saying "colored people" is offensive and saying "people of color" is not. Can someone explain the difference to me? Would be nice to know so I don't end up being rude or offensive because of my ignorance.

But it is a complete non-story. If he actually had any kind of policy making power then it would be a story.

A member of the DNC is by default representing them. This is not a facebook rant by a random dude.
Trying to downplay things like this don't usually downplays them. Just saying.
Again, after a whole month of Stormy Daniels, I don't think anyone has the right to call anything a non-story. Atleast for a month
