Why are people of color so against being called colored people? It means the exact same thing.

@StygianKohlrabi calling themselves colored people?

@Cloud7593 people of color yes

@StygianKohlrabi people who do that have slave mentality.

@AngelUnforgiven I think it was on The View

@AngelUnforgiven I never say colored people. I just wondered why it was so bad.

@AngelUnforgiven I suppose the term people of color is inoffensive

@Cloud7593 Now you know! 👍

@StygianKohlrabi In my personal opinion no it isn't. But that's just my opinion. Context means everything. Jeff Foxworthy calls himself a redneck, some people take offense to that.
