Interesting. I only remember my Louisiana/Mississipi relatives using "colored" (and,
unfortunately, they were not precisely without prejudice), and not any of my relatives
that grew up here in central Texas. I was uncomfortable from the beginning with the
word because of the connotations they gave it. Of course, my memory from that
early on may be faulty, too.... :)
ObConLang/DeLurk: I have a couple of sketches of conlangs I built for an FRP
campaign world, but they're not ready to go on the web yet....sorry....
