Can someone care to explain the meaning of the phrase “People of Color”

When this phrase is used, and always to differentiate white people from everyone else other than white, it makes me a little puzzled. Is white not a color, or do the “people of color” see white people as transparent, like maybe white people have cloaking abilities?
And while we’re at it, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a true White person or Black person before, always shades of pink, red, tan, yellow, or brown. But Every single one of them were people of color.
What gives? Can we all just call human beings “People of Color”. Or perhaps just varying shades of colors?

In physics, a color is visible light with a specific wavelength. Black and white are not colors because they do not have specific wavelengths. Instead, white light contains all wavelengths of visible light. Black, on the other hand, is the absence of visible light.
White is all the colors... black is absence of color

And so then either black people are not people of color since it’s the absence of color, or they’re not black people at all. Like I said. I’ve never seen a black person or a white person.

There’s one poster with an AVI of a guy who is dark as night. Can’t remember who though. Like literally the color of charcoal.

People of color almost always refers to black people only
Posted on 5/8/18 at 2:07 pm to Mike da Tigah
It's a dumb phrase but not as bad as African Americans

Wikipedia:
The term "person of color" (plural: people of color, persons of color; sometimes abbreviated POC)[1] is used primarily in the United States to describe any person who is not white. The term encompasses all non-white people, emphasizing common experiences of systemic racism

It's reverse racism. That's all.

I fricking abhor this term. It implies that "true" racism only goes one way and any other racism is lesser or different. It's doublespeak with a very clear intent to manipulate people.
