...calling me coloured ?

When I born , I black .

When I grow up , I black .

When go in sun, I black .

When I scared, I black .

When I sick, I black &
when I die , I still black.

And u white fella ,
when you born you pink .
when you grow up u white.
when u go in sun you red.

when u cold u blue.
when u scared u yellow.

when u sick u green & when u die u gray.

And u calling me coloured ? ?
