Does anyone else thoroughly despise the term "person of color"?

I'm not a leftist and I never will be....and I find that term for minorities to be racist. It places emphasis on their skin color, not their character, morality, or contributions to society.

Yes it's a pretty fucked up way to describe a person and is not even a truly a description. One might as well just say "not white".

On a somewhat related note it makes me smile whenever I hear my 7 year old telling a story about his friends and trying to describe to me who is who. Some of his friends are black and when he tries to describe them his mind doesn't even consider skin color. Such an innocence to it.

@SW-User That's the way it should be
