Ive always felt colored to be more offensive than nigger, and negro 
probably the least offensiive term, but its all stupid. Ive heard nigger 
both used as a term of endearment and as a term to describe a stupid 
black person as well - by blacks.
In this country as in Africa, if you want to refer to anything, you 
probably use a far more detailed description. Like afro carribean, or 
Pakistani, or Indian, or Chinese, or arab, or Welsh or Scottish, or 
Irish...or Iranian...Because no way does one word cover everything that 
isn't 'just like you'
