[quote=Anonymous]So I started babysitting occasionally for a family who relocated from out of the country. They are South African Caucasians. I mostly interact with the mom since dad works out of the home full-time. We talk about subjects beyond child care and she is a very nice down to earth parent. We talked about tv shows and I noticed a couple times when she was referring to a particular character on a show, she would say 'colored.' For example, 'I love the colored guy on blank.' Just wondering if you would casually and nicely say along the lines of, 'oh you know here we say African American or black?' I am not a PC person, but I think knowing our environment, she would be unfairly judged. My mom used to say the same when I was a kid and I had to correct her lest she unfairly be called a racist...in our native country, black people are called 'colored.' Would you even bother? [/quote]
