The term minority is not on my favorite list either. It smacks of supremacy code-words to me.

True...

I just like clarity and precision......

Not my intention...and as much as we have argued, you should know I'm a stickler for being exact & factual....and at getting to the core of what people are saying/what they are about....

The terms "white" & "POC" can both be picked apart for their meanings and intended definitions....I dislike both of them because it continues the language of supremacist thought...

*my technique (and intent) is always water when it comes to fiery rhetoric.....fighting fire with fire just leaves a lot of things/people/bridges burned*
