A British actor is groveling for apologies after using an offensive term to refer to black actors – and it’s not what you think.
Brit Benedict Cumberbatch used the phrase “colored actors” on Tavis Smiley’s PBS show and the “colored” community screamed in pain – not really.
Cumberbatch said he is “devastated” by his own comments and desperately, desperately wants you to forgive him – especially colored people – who could care less
“I’m devastated to have caused offense by using this outmoded terminology,” he said. “I offer my sincere apologies. I make no excuse for my being an idiot and know the damage is done. I can only hope this incident will highlight the need for correct usage of terminology that is accurate and inoffensive.”

LOL, what a disaster of a race.
Those people went ape shit (pun intended) over the fact that this actor had the unmitigated gall to say "colored people" where he has to express a sincere apology.
Check out the tweets by colored actors.
