Nothing to place blame over, but the logic of "People Of Color" being OK, but "Colored People" being not OK, escapes me.

Please get out there and try to take it back. You should definitely get out in the street and film it.

'Negroes' is totally inappropriate. I prefer 'Hottentots.' It has a certain flair and style.

I didn't say that I miss anything, but I fail to see the logic, that all those years ago, made using the term "Colored People" wrong, because it differentiated them as a group somehow, from everyone else, only to come back some years later, to use the term " People Of Color" which is pretty damn similar, to differentiate themselves from everyone else.

Because other people called them that when they didn't approve of it first. Derogatory ways of referring to someone, bestowed on them by someone else, usually don't go over well when you're the target.

The difference is that they chose this for themselves as a community.

It's not really something you get to have control of unfortunately for you

I don't care if they want to be illogical. Let them go right ahead.
