No, it won't be all right to these people. I'm sure about that. They're just pointing out that they're "colored". In the same way I would speak here about Balkan immigrants and that wouldn't mean "if they were Negro/Asian it would be ok". It's just that eastern Euro immigration wasn't an issue back then.
