    No, he’s playing 4D chess.

    jk. In reality he probably was raised and exists in a world so far from black people that he thinks “colored” is an often used and acceptable term. Kind of like my grandmother did who was born in 1935 and died in 2007.

      I think it’s probably a combination of the two theories you and mozz have.

      He was assigned to attack her, didn’t have a weapons-grade talking point ready, and had to rely on his own brain for something. A “black” sorority isn’t going to do it . . hmmm . . hmmm . . AH. “Colored” isn’t the N word, and it hasn’t been used in a long time, so people will probably pick up on it - I’m a genius! Yes. Clearly. I have cracked the case on how to insult her race without using the n word! I love evil!
