On an MSN article the reporter is talking down on Lindsay Lohan for Referring to Barack Obama as colored. The post said:
Lindsay Lohan referred to President-elect Barack Obama as the country’s “first colored president” in an interview on “Access Hollywood.”
Describing her experience on Election Day, Lohan said: “It was really exciting. It’s an amazing feeling. It’s our first colored president.”
Interviewer Maria Menounos didn’t question the 22-year-old actress on her use of the term. “Access Hollywood” also didn’t cite her remark in its online story, but did post an “extended interview” video on its Web site that included the remark.
I don’t understand what is wrong with her saying that. Was she supposed to say African American?
