Why the term "people of color" is ridiculous.
#11
RE: Why the term "people of color" is ridiculous.
I don't see the point - What's the relevance of all of this? I don't use the term "people of colour" very often, but from my experience it is just a reference to non-white darker ethnic groups, nothing else - It's not a universal homogeneous group. The reason why for the term is to identify the (usually) most discriminated minorities faster. It's pragmatic
Quote:The first group has a very long ancient on the iberian peninsula and have been major players in western politics since they were conquered by Rome. They were a people of renown in the middle ages and drove the age of discovery. Notably they engaged in slavery and often bought aslaves from African princes that had defeated their enemies.
I'm sorry but isn't Hispanic someone from a Spanish speaking country (usually Spain or former colonies)? If so, how are they an ethnic group? That's like saying Indians are British because they were ruled by them. I know Americans call browns "latino", but the word Hispanic never made sense to me.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
