Strange that there was no outrage when Carlos Mencia was in blackface parodying Obama.

LOL !! I read about this this morning. She must really be old.
There are lots of old terms that are not in use anymore here. But "coloured" is still used.
Mulattoes and Indians in South Africa are called that. And think even Chinese are being called that now too. I think she meant colored as meaning non-white.

I still don't see how "that one" has anything to do with race.

That could be said of ANY group of people. And we weren't talking about "you people" anyway - we were talking about "that one."

We're all only americans when we're not causing trouble. Then we're "those *insert race here* people."

Hollywood never ceases to amaze me....
She obviously has no problem being identified as among the most ignorant. I wouldn't want to be her.

No, I think you are just trying to make a "point" when there's no point there. You think when McCain called Obama "That One" that it was a racial reference? If so, YOU are the ignorant one; either that or just trolling.
