The Color Purple

1. a situation where you're dating a girl who isn't as attractive as her much, much, much, much younger sister.

2. derived from the movie of the same name, having relations with a woman while lusting after the little sister you can't have due to age.
My life is The Color Purple right now. My girlfriend's sister is hot, but I can't do anything because she isn't 18 yet

Person of Color

Any person who is not at least 7/8 white aka Indo-European or Caucasian, as long as the other 1/8 does not include black aka Sub-Saharan African. But may include East Asian and/or Native American aka Amerindian.

Any person who is not at least 15/16 white, if the other 1/16 includes black. Although the "one drop" rule includes any black ancestry, it is difficult to enforce after five generations, especially if the black ancestor is not straight maternal.

People of color include blacks, Asians, and Native Americans.
Homer Plessy was 1/8 black and therefore had to use "colored" facilities in the Segregated South. Mr. Plessy was a Person of Color.

Thomas Jefferson's slave concubine was 3/4 white, but since her maternal grandmother was black and a slave, she was also a black slave. The children that she bore with Jefferson were 7/8 white, but they were legally black slaves.

"Color" is rinsed after five generations if it is black and four generations if it is Asian and/or Native American.

Going Colorado

Going crazy to the point of abuse. In reference to Los Angeles Laker Kobe Bryant's escapades in Colorado in 2003.
Depending on when the event happened, going Colorado can be changed to went, gone or will go Colorado.
Man, did you see Kobe has 61 points tonight? He is going Colorado on the Knicks!

Color Blind

Being part of that awesome group of people who are alone in being able to truly appreciate things like rainbows, acid trips , and tie-dye
"Why do you like that shirt so much?"
"You don't understand... I'm Color Blind"

"How is it that you colored the sun green, the ocean purple, but managed to get the rainbow perfect?"
"I'm color blind"

Colored

Something that we all are. Colored does not just mean Black anymore, that is only a stereotype. Here's a list of what color a race is associated with:

European-Americans=White
African-Americans=Black
Hispanic-Americans=Brown
Native Americans=Red
Asian-Americans=Yellow
It shouldn't matter what color you are. I am accepting of all races. There are people of every race that I don't like, but that is the same case with everyone in the country.
I honestly don't care if your white, black, red, purple, or orange, race is not an issue with me!
