I am sure to some people they want to avoid some offensive issue, but that just sounds so absurd if that is the case. I say the color and it does sometimes strike me funny when I have to say, "Black coach" or "Red Coach" and there is some sort of association with their race, but that is never taken serious by me. I even chuckle when I say, "Black ball." Again it does not mean someone should be honestly offended. I know I am not offended as a person that could be labeled if I was to mention a color. Just like it would not offend me if I heard someone say, "I like to wear black (or white) clothing."

Peace
