[quote=Anonymous]At the end of the day everyone knows, deep inside, there really is only one meaning to the "person of color" and that's African Americans. It's because racism in the US is viewed through the prism of the historic white-black relationships. The word "color" in reference to skin carries tremendous cultural, political and economic baggage and that is why the other "colors" such as East or South Asians or Middle Eastern or Latinos or even Native Americans don't fit into the term "person of color" neatly. The non AA "people of color" occupy the same place as the Italian-Americans did 100 years ago, people who were seen as "swarthy" by the predominant Anglo-German white Americans but still extended the benefits of "white privilege."
