The word "Colored"
Pretty straight forward question.

Is the word 'colored' acceptable nomenclature in 2017?

    How is it used? Colored people? No. Colored anything else? Sure.

    Correct. To describe non-white people. Hence, the nomenclature.

    Old people can get grandfathered in (meaning I won't consider them racist if they say it) but anyone under 75 shouldn't be saying it.

    Well, nomenclature is referenced to someone or something, so I took "something" in consideration and voted yes. Clearly not a racist.

    Absolutely fine with people of color. Read an article by the Boston globe referencing them last week.

    "Colored people", no.

    "People of color" is used with regularity and is what I understand to be the proper/acceptable phrasing at the moment.
