So what is the PC phrase du jour?

Du jour? Why don't you just use "black," which I believe has been acceptable during your entire lifetime. And you shouldn't want to do it to just avoid offending someone. You should do it as a form of respect for your fellow human being.
On second thought, scratch that. Continue using "colored." Let us know how it works out.
