Washington
(ANI):
Actress
Lindsay
Lohan
used
a
racist
term
for
US
President-elect
Barack
Obama
in
a
recent
interview,
calling
him
the
first
'coloured
President'.
The
term
'coloured'
for
Afro-Americans
is
considered
derogatory
and
was
most
commonly
used
by
racist
character
Archie
Bunker
in
the
1970s
sitcom
'All
In
the
Family.
Lindsay's
comment
came
in
response
to
a
question
from
Maria
Menounos
on
'Access
Hollywood'
about
Obama's
win
in
the
2008
presidential
race.
"It's
an
amazing
feeling.
It's
our
first,
you
know,
coloured
president," Fox
News
quoted
her
as
saying.
The
22-year-old
starlet
used
the
offensive
term
in
the
interview
while
speaking
of
her
role
on
'Ugly
Betty',
gay
marriage,
and
cancer
research.
The
TV
interview
came
in
line
with
Lindsay's
previous
interview
with
'Harper's
Bazaar'
magazine
where
she
denied
being
a
lesbian,
but
admitted
to
being
in
love
with
her
female
partner
of
several
months,
Samantha
Ronson.
