I object to the term 'people of color'. In my youth 'colored people' were African Americans. It is not a very good term. People of color is the same term but with an air of elitism attached to it. In the victim mentality that promotes this term, it is assumed
that dark skin color puts you in the oppressed class automatically and white
skin puts you in the oppressor class. The old communist
doctrine of an oppressor class and an oppressed class has been transformed from a purely economic one to a purely racial one which groups people into two
groups, white people, that is people of European descent, and every other kind
of people, based solely on skin color.
