Best Answer

No, in South Africa the word "Coloured" means that you are a mixture of "colours" (races).

It is not considered as insulting as the American term "colored". Coloured South Africans are a mixure of white settlers, Khoikhoi & black natives and slaves brought to Africa from the East (Indonisia, Malasia etc)
