about Black people - it is a term that includes anyone who isn't white. I've never heard "colored people" refer to anyone who isn't Black. This is an illustration of the connotation behind "colored people" and why so many of us are uncomfortable with the term. To me "colored person" always came across as a "PC" way of saying "niggers".
>and 'person of color' is an umbrella term for all non-white
>ppl. it's fine to refer to us that way but it's not
