That’s what I thought.
What’s the point you’re trying to make?
It’s a question. Nothing more than that.
So if you already thought that the accepted phrase today was “People of Color,” then what was the purpose of asking that question?
Progressives change the name of the cohort every few years, I was just checking.
“coloured people” has never been a preferred term, it’s always been viewed as racist, on account of how popular it is with racists.
Does that mean you’re opposed to calling people how they state they prefer to be called because you perceive it as a progressive ploy and you don’t like progressives?
Not at all. It was just a question.
Then what makes you believe that it’s “progressives” that are responsible for changing the “name of the cohort every few years?”
It’s been one of the traits of the movement since the 1970s.
