[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]POC is fake [/quote]

Thank you SO much for sharing such an incisive, detailed analysis of this complex issue. [/quote]

It isn't a complex issue. It is a nothingness, the term "POC" has no meaning and the people who would be included in this group do not any sense of unity, at all, to be included in a group.[/quote]

Accurate. It's a fake, new term to pretend the world is divided by white and not white.[/quote]

While I agree, it is still a term that is widely used which is what this thread is about. So to play along, to me POC is anyone non-European.  I'm Southern Italian, in no way would I ever consider myself a POC. My parents were born and raised there, also do not consider themselves POC. [/quote]

No that’s not what POC means. When you use it broadly as “non European” then it loses meaning. When you use it narrowly to describe people who are brown THEN it has meaning. The purpose is for to have meaning so I prefer a narrow definition.  And it’s more than skin color - it’s facial features as well. Italians have European features. Italians also have fair skin, except for those who are from the south.  South and Central Americans, Black Americans, Asians, Indians, some middle easterners but not all, have unique features that make them immediately categorized and identified, and made to feel “other” in this country…hence POC.
