Funny this is in Ohio. My 96 year old Grandmother from Ohio still calls blacks "colored" because that was the polite "PC" term used back in the day. Negro was once the polite phrase to use.

"A radio station in Ohio has fired a broadcaster who described Senator Kamala Harris as the nation's 'first colored vice presidential candidate'.", "Another described Cornell as an 'ignorant bozo'.", "More coming up after the game on Newsradio WTAM 1100 Cleveland. 'Audio of the clip was posted to social media and sparked anger. 'Hey @WTAM1100 it's racist to use the term 'colored' when describing Kamala Harris,' tweeted one listener."
'Kyle Cornell, 26, made the remark on air on Wednesday night. ', "He is no longer with WTAM. 'In a news teaser that aired during the station's broadcast of the Cleveland Indians game, Cornell said: 'The U.S. officially has its first colored vice presidential candidate."

That whipper-snapper is a real square for using a 1950s term like that. It's not much of an insult. Blacks just demanded that the innocent term be retired.
