Colour

It's been a while.

So, in church, my pastor said something about how "colour" etc doesn't matter in the eyes of God. Which is true (for all those who don't think this way), but for some reason, his use of the word "colour" really bothered me.
Why couldn't he use the word "race" or "ethnic background"? Because I don't think he wanted to alienate people with "colour" in their skin, and yet he did anyway, because I felt alienated.
Also, the word "colour" means something other than a shade (white, grey, black), even though we consider black people coloured. So, basically, he's talking about everyone else other than white people? Which basically means his referring to "colour"ed people are brown and yellow, right? Red people? Purple people? Ugh, this is a weird subject.
This probably crosses a line somewhere, and I'm sorry if you find offence to this. But this is my blog, and I needed to write something about it.
