to know that colored isn't an ideal and possibly offensive term

hence me saying those who use it may not mean to offend but appear to be out of touch
and considering his age and position, he definitely came off as that and a little ignorant too if he didn't know the term could be construed in that way

im not offended but it's stupid to use that term nowadays if you aren't an old person, especially if you actually pay attention to the world
