The bolded bit or this 'Don't matter were they're from. But they're still black'. So would you count Italians as 'coloured'? Skin colour can also very greatly within places like India alone, from people as fair as you are to people as dark as Edison Miranda. Africans also look different from Asians, with completely different hair textures, face structure. They might have similar skintones in some cases but not all the time.
They certainly do. Game, set, match.

And re-read the post dumbass, I said Italians are brown i.e. tanned. They're not coloured. My cousin's husband is Italian and Ive been to Italy twice. I think I should know. Fact is Indians, africans etc are all coloured guys. Edison Miranda is columbian, yet he looks just like an african guy due to his skin colour.
There are plenty slang terms for skin color and ethnicity in general. I would almost consider "black" or "colored" a slang term in some circumstances. such as this one..

in lefty's defense, if you're taking some sort of survey and they have the options of white/black/hispanic/other on it and you're black (african-american) and from the dominican then you're still going to check off black.

but in jaz's defense, black is too broad of a term to generalize the way lefty was. my sister will never say that her ex bf was black, but that he was dominican. I'm italian, and i have tan skin, but no one calls me brown, except when they're joking.
