I’d say it’s an archaic term that is definitely offensive when not used in an ironic (e.g. ‘many Republicans don’t like it when the women and “colored folk” have… opinions’) sense.
I think it’s not PC because it essentially creates two buckets, white and colored, but it’s only as offensive as the case it is used. You can make any adjective a pejorative with enough venom behind it.
