[quote=Anonymous]Black. Just black. Really, just black. You might get a few other people of different races using the term, especially social justice warriors eager for a bit of limelight, bit in practical application it's primarily used by black people to refer to black people. It's the latest version of the various terms used to describe black people over the years. The real reason for the emergence of people of color in the last few years despite its startling closeness to "colored people" is that blacks are realizing they no longer quite hold the political status as the permanent minority group in America, especially with the rapid growth of the Hispanic population in the last 20 years to become the biggest non white group, so shifting the language to people of color is way of trying to perpetuate that political clout that is bound to fade sooner or later. But at the end of the day, it's a term mainly used by black people to refer to black people. [/quote]
