I mean, its pretty outdated. Kind of a dumb thing to point out.
‘Colour’ certainly has a connotation of diverse hues. Like blue, or aquamarine. Or lime. Nobody’s skin colour is lime.
There’s only like, three. Dark brown, brown, and beige. And most of it depends on how much melanin you have or something.
Now, if someone ate a shitton of carrots and turned orange, I think I’d jump on a chance to say he or she’s a person of colour—no, I’d rather say a colourful person.
That way it’s literal and complimentary.
Just say, non-Caucasian if you must. But still, white people have skin, and it’s a colour, and its definitely not white. I know it’s a conditioned phrase, but since ‘minorities’ is the politically-correct term, even though it really shouldn’t be, just use that.
Never mind where this is coming from.
Just know that saying ‘Persons of Colour’ is a faggy thing to say.
