| rant on the term "people of color" |

| Nonnel:
The words majority and minority correlate with white and not white in most of the Western world, though, so I don't see why we need "POC" to replace that. Majority and minority aren't tribal and are even more flexible since you can use them in countries where white people are the minority or are being persecuted or something. |

im assuming it's probably only used in the west and prolly started being used back when it literally was whites vs everyone else and it's just stuck around |
| Drydess:
the only time you should ever be held to using that term is on official business |

I'm guessing like 70s or 80sish POC came around. Still racial problems going on but more social awareness of it. |
