and also colored person is less racist cuz it means: person who happens to be colored, while person of color means: person of/from color; their Identity is less important than their color. dumbass tumblr never fails to make me laugh.
"Coloured person" has historically been used in derogatory ways (i.e. "coloureds"). "Person of colour" is preferable because it emphasizes a person's humanity and individuality over this certain characteristic. Similar to how it's more polite to say "the man with autism" rather than "the autistic man."
yea but person of color isnt synonymous with person with color. it means that they are of or pertaining to color, as in they are, as a person, derived from color. it means that their entire being is related to their color. also, 'colored person' used to be the nice way to refer to black people, it wasn't a derogatory term. don't let retarded tumblr affect your admittedly tiny mind.
Sorry, but your strict, semantic analysis of "person of colour" is not the way the rest of the world defines the term. Like with many words and phrases, the widely-accepted societal interpretation is more correct than the literal linguistic definition. Also, given your violent rebuke, I'd say you're the one allowing tumblr to affect you.
Troll comments get deleted, simple as that. If you cannot come up with support for your own argument without resorting to baseless slurs, derogatory remarks and no actual intelligent response, then you have no argument. You are merely a troll looking for attention.
