I can't believe a coloured man is going to win the election in USA

Is coloured a term that is allowed these days? I thought it was no longer acceptable? Funny then that the Evening Standard yesterday in one of those DREADFUL pointless diary pages with little boring tit bit stories said:

"If Barack Obama wins tomorrow's election it will not be the first time Sarah Palin has come second to a coloured person. In 1984 she won the Miss Wasilla beauty contest, and then went though to the Miss Alaska pageant. However, on that occasion she was beaten by Maryline Blackburn who has a darker complexion than Obama"

WTF????? What a f**king ridiculous thing to write.
