women of color was a thrid wave feminist creation. it was made by white women to describe the non-whites that were asking to be seen. anyone calling anyone a person of color is def a latent racist, as it is always talking down. we can just chat with others wothout acting like we are 5 years old and need to show them we have identified a color or shape that is different!
It’s OK to refer to persons of color (a classification), but it’s not OK to refer to a specific individual as a person of color. It can be offensive to acknowledge another person’s race, and it’s best to avoid doing this.
