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 pragmaticIn the US they often consider Hispanics or latinos to be a different race, but the reason I used them in this example is because they are often " people of color"
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.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
