Ammi you are one of my favortie posters here .I don't like that you use the words that coloured is term to denot a person of multi-heritage...Coloured people are coloured people and very proudly so....It is not a term used by "White men"as Mokkka has said.Many people are multi-heritage....that doesn't make them coloured...I am struggling to understand that people fail to understand that saying colored is offensive whilst knowing that saying Magda and her family as very proud colored people are upset when in the west their culure is described as offensive
