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.

Generally speaking, I do t have a lot of respect for people who are disingenuous in the way they use words.

The reality is that many times, when people refer to others using descriptors that equate to “not like me”, they are intentionally being decisive. This could refer to skin color, religion, political persuasion, whatever.

“Persons of color” is another way to say minority

The derogatory intent is based on context.

I don’t despise it. But if I refer to someone’s skin color in a relevant way, that doesn’t make me a racist. And just because someone uses PC language, doesn’t mean they aren’t a racist.
