Edit: Guys, watch the video. He clearly said “college.” I am sorry for posting misinformation; I didn’t watch the video first, and just assumed it was legit 😕.

I hate Fox News. I think they are a joke masquerading as news and mostly serve to fuel misinformation, fear, and hate. I have no doubt that a significant number of their staff members are incredibly racist, overtly and covertly. I don't know enough about Kilmeade to know for sure where he sits there, but I definitely think being a Fox host is already a pretty big red flag on the "are you a racist" test.

But... I have to be honest on this one, I hear him say "college."

Unless you hear him pronouncing it with a hard G, I don't know how you can hear college. It ends with a hard sound (voiced plosvie).

To me it actually sounds like co-ed because there's definitely a c/k at the start and d at the end, and a blustering moron's mouth noises in the middle, but I don't see how they get from that to college and I do see how you get from that to coloured. Why he wouldn't own "co-ed" I don't know because sounding like a behind the times old white dude is very much their brand

Well, for starters, "college" uses a soft g sound.

Uh, yeah. And there's absolutely no soft g sound in what he says. The word clearly ends in a hard sound.
