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.

That emphasis is there to point out the shared difficulties and discrimination they face in society for not being caucasian. You want to stop hearing the term, work to end the injustice.

@OggggO it is always going to continue until we as humans stop adding labels when we are referring to each other

@Longleggedlady Removing the label isn't going to make the discrimination magically disappear.

@OggggO true but it will be a starting point for it when we as humans can simply view each other as a person without having to add a descriptive label to refer to each other

@OggggO I do my part by treating them with the same decency and civility I treat everyone else with.

@SW-User that is the most that any individual can do themselves I actually think that some of these stupid politically correct terms that people come up with cause and make the actual thing worse by highlighting it
