When was the last time you heard someone say "colored people" [View All]

For me, it was last night at work. The knuckle-dragging regular courier came in, a man so stupid he believed Santorum when he said there were WMDs found, and thought that one of the pressmen had waved at him. So he wasved back, but then realized the pressman hadn't actually.

I heard him mutter something, then say "oh, black person or whatever you say now," then "I'd better be careful. That's not politically correct". He said "politically correct" in a mocking tone.

So I asked what the hell he was talking about. And he explained that he'd originally said "colored guy" then corrected himself, since that wasn't politically correct (the tone again)

I couldn't talk. I got him his manifest, remained professional, all the while thinking "YOU FUCKING NEANDERTAL! YOU MORON! YOU IGNORANT FUCKING MORON"

Oooooh, I was so pissed.

An overreaction, or no?
