(not aimed at you Jam but generally) People generally take 'person of colour' and 'coloured' literally and this is confusing, but you have to remember that even 'white' is a non-literal term, no one is literally white, similarlily many 'coloured' people would have light skin.
Confusing racial terminology is not simply there because the terminology itself is confused, but because the issue of race (IE the social construct not the biological aspect) is not clear or set in stone, never has been, never will be.
