[quote=Anonymous]You'd want to first ask yourself what is the point of the term people of color. Why does it exist? It's a very new term.

What is the point of lumping affluent Asian Americans and South Asian Americans with poor inner city blacks under a single term when they have absolutely nothing in common, despite that quite a few South Asians are technically "darker" than many American blacks.

And, of course, there's no shortage of elitist people of non white origins all over the world who are perfectly capable of all sorts of discriminatory behaviors and hold tremendous powers within their countries and cultures. They certainly don't see themselves as "people of color" because they certainly don't see themselves as unified in a global population against white Europeans. Why would they? Try telling that to a wealthy Arab or Asian or Indian.

In short, not being white is not a unifying factor. In real life, aka the rest of the world outside the SJW universe in higher education, people sharply define themselves by class and caste and family and religion and tribe and politics. Worrying about white people is way down the list of priorities.

"POC" only exists as a political term, nothing else and nothing more. [/quote]
