What makes you think "us guys" call black men colored? Have you been reading cheap detective fiction from the 1950s?
I think I may have meant "people of color", which conveniently and economically applies to the darker Latinos, Chinese, Indian, Arabs, etc. In this regard, what about Sicilians, many of whom are, as Dennis Hopper's character observed in "True Romance", quite dark?
