What are "people of color" ?

[Oceanicpuppy]

What classifies as a person of color? What does it mean? I think it's a vague term and needs to reevaluated and reexamined.

White Supremacy defines what 'people of color' are.

Non white people are considered "people of color".

It's a useless umbrella term designed to marginalize non-whites and put them in one category.

Its used to diffuse black racism and when people want to diminish the accomplishments and struggles of blacks.

In the media....when people are afraid to say "black" they use the term "people of color".

I don't think so..

Do you consider dark complexion people who are classified as ( North Africans, Middle East, and Indians) as caucasian in America as people of color?

Because no one wants to be politically and socially attached to Africa because of the terrible rep cacs spread about black Africans.
