Colored is a term once widely regarded as a description of black people and Native Americans. It should not be confused with the more recent term people of color, which attempts to describe all "non-white peoples", not just blacks. Today it is generally no longer regarded as a politically correct term, however even that is debatable, due to its continued occasional appearance, most notably its use in the acronym NAACP.

  • Colored is a term once widely regarded as a description of black people and Native Americans. It should not be confused with the more recent term people of color, which attempts to describe all "non-white peoples", not just blacks. Today it is generally no longer regarded as a politically correct term, however even that is debatable, due to its continued occasional appearance, most notably its use in the acronym NAACP. Carla Sims, communications director for the NAACP in Washington, D.C. ,said "The term 'colored' is not derogatory, [the NAACP] chose the word 'colored' because it was the most positive description commonly used at that time. It's outdated and antiquated but not offensive. " The term "colored" appeared in North America during the colonial era. A "colored" man halted a runaway carriage that was carrying President John Tyler on March 4, 1844. In 1863, the War Department established the "Bureau of Colored Troops. " The first twelve Census counts in the U.S. enumerated "colored" people, who totaled nine million in 1900. The Census counts of 1910–1960 enumerated "negroes. " Free people of color were sometimes accorded higher status than blacks, because of the association of the latter with enslaved status. In addition, free people of color were sometimes the children of planters who may have passed on wealth in the form of property or education, including apprenticeship to a trade. In the well-established Creoles of color community in New Orleans and southern Louisiana, many people became educated and owned property, including their own businesses. but were more often considered lesser than people of separate ancestry.
  • 有色人種（ゆうしょくじんしゅ）とは、帝国主義の時代から20世紀中頃まで使用された人種分類である。 有色人種という言葉は、白色人種と対で使用される言葉であり、ヨーロッパ系のコーカソイドを除いた、その他人種を指す。 有色人種という概念は優生学の思想に基づき、イギリス・フランス・アメリカなどを中心としたヨーロッパ系コーカソイドが、植民地の拡大・奴隷制の維持を正当化する根拠として唱えられたものであり、そのため、自分たちと被植民地国の国民および奴隷との、外見で区別しやすい皮膚の色や血統などの特徴を利用し、人種を細分化したものである。 そのため、有色人種と対で使用される場合の白色人種とは、現在の一般的人種分類（コーカソイド（白人）・ネグロイド・オーストラロイド・モンゴロイド）で定義される白人とは定義の範囲が異なり、人種差別と密接に結びついた概念であるため、用語毎にその対象範囲が異なる。例えばアラブ人やインド人は、人種的にはコーカソイドに分類されるが、有色人種に分類される。
