GOP Senate front-runner calls Native Americans & Asians reds & yellows (VIDEO)

Republican leaders get upset when they are called out for racial insensitivity. They act as if it is a Progressive smear. But they continue to do things that question their righteous indignation.

We have the terms blacks and whites, which no one seems to mind. Minorities are also sometimes described (often by themselves) as "persons of color." So what exactly is wrong with red and yellow? Aren't they colors?

If you are saying that using a color to describe someone is insensitive, then we should stop using black and white also? What is the NAACP going to do?

I did not watch the video, I ask only from a general perspective.
