I identify as colored. I choose the color when I wake up.

Why is “people of color” ok but saying “colored people,” colored folks” is racist?

A made up term by liberals.

AOC is a white European descended from Spanish people.

It’s like a shield they deploy to deflect criticism and shite down debate. Anytime you here that term it’s guarenteed someone is either about to be called a racist or some racist (diversity) policy is about to be proposed.

You see, people have pigmentation in their skin called melanin. The more melanin you have, the darker your skin is. There's brown people and black people and yellow people too. The colorless ones are called wypipo. The most evilest of the wypipo are known as gingers. Any questions?

Why TF do you progs always respond by asking a question? The topic can never be addressed head on.

It's true.

Caucasians are the most colorfully diverse people in the whole world.


It's Science

libs are masters at wording and grouping. “women of color” creates another group, besides just saying “women.”

POC is just a fancy way of saying "non-white".

I thought it was a new construct too. But then I read a book about the 1988 presidential election and the term was used in that book. The book was written in 1989. I’ve seen it in books that were written in the 70s too. So it’s been used at least for 40 years.

Seems odd to lump everyone into two groups, whites and everyone else.

What color do you no longer consider someone your own race based on skin tone?


I don't see color and thats probably not uncommon. People told me that Obama was black, and I still don't believe them.

Also clever how they have looped in all non-white people under one umbrella. It’s never black people now. It’s black and brown people. Or people of color. Or communities of color.

Hispanics and Asians are on the rise, blacks on the decline, so they hitched the wagons together.
