That’s funny because here in Italy you say:”di colore” (which means colored) and its the polite way to call someone black lol
Maybe he just translated it from his own language if he’s not American
I know ahah but here if you call someone nero (black) you’re considered racist
I think there are many things that are different culturally between countries 🙆🏻♂️ there shouldn’t be anything wrong with calling someone black just as much if you call someone white
I know, I was just trying to say why someone would say that without being intentionally racist lol
