    You’re getting hammered pretty hard on the votes, but you are generally correct. I would not advise you try calling a Black person “coloured” in 2026. POC, or just flat out Black, is the more accepted term today. The point of POC is that it emphasizes the personhood over the colour aspect.

      For those who never watch it don’t context

      Spoiler

      Larry was helping a black family who also ironically had the last name “Black” and they were staying at his house until they found another place to live.

      During that time he couldn’t invite his date over because there was zero privacy with so many people.

      The doctor had similar issue as her family was also staying over at her place.
