Maybe they play for Syracuse?

I’m not going to the FP, but context? Were they using it as a personal identifying feature, or was it a general sweep of “all THOSE people who play sports”?

Obligatory "But the NAACP!!" response. Maybe they're talking about expansion teams, what with all their neon and other offensive uniform schemes.

It was in this story on the limited production numbers of Aston’s hypercars.

“you know the amount of colored sports players, arabs in oil rich countries, princes, etc all buy hypercars. Only difference... they don’t drive it, they just sit in the lot and rot slowly.”

But you know if they DD’ed their hypercar the same guy would complain about them being too flashy and ostentatious.

Whenever I’d do anything racially insensitive around one of my melanin-enhanced friends, she would send me this:

I feel it’s apropos here.

I shouldn’t have ever had sex with her.

OK. I was going to say, I have no issues with identifying someone with their colour, if it serves a purpose. Let’s be honest, it IS an obvious feature and a helpful one if you’re trying to figure out who someone is talking about.

But that... sorry no. Coloured sports players.

Is he saying white people drive their expensive cars and “colored people” don't? I'm not sure where to begin with all the wrongness

I love the term “colored” because it insinuates a binary. There are “colored people” or “people of color” so then it must be the case that white people are “colorless people.” I picture albinos when I hear this shit. As a tan white person, I am offended.

Well that’s not very woke of them. But seriously, every time I hear someone say “colored” I die a little inside.
