I'm afraid that my friend is utter nonsense, it may be unfortunate but is is NEVER acceptable for anyone to be racist.
I'm afraid you have picked up on a myth proported by out of touch extrimist right wing political groups which are clearly misinformed stirrers.
Calling someone coloured in itself (which Darnell did) is NOT racist at worst it is non PC. It will make a few young people flinch but this was the 'accepted' term for black(mainly)/white people 30+ years ago, now times have changed and so has the PC we now use black or white.
A bit like calling someone handicapped rather than disabled/physically challenged.
Already this series I have heard Mario refer to Mikey as handicapped and low and behold nobody mentioned it here (to my knowledge) probably because most like myself didnt see it as really offensive, it was merely like Darnell's comment, it was'nt the best choice of word either.
