<p>You are Southeast Asian so you probably don’t know that “colored” is a derogatory term that was used to classify and describe African Americans - particularly during segregation and slavery.</p>
<p>So please know the translation and the common use of the term. In the U.S. you’re not considered “colored”. You’re going to be seen as Asian who is a person “of color.”</p>

<p>Make no mistake - it is easier to be a person “of color” these days. But by no means is it the painless panacea you paint. If anything, there are more positive stereotypes associated with being Asian, than for those for whom the term was meant.</p>
