Reply to comment by DarkMattersConfusing in NYC teachers union’s workshop on ‘harmful effects of whiteness’ canceled after influx of ‘hate’ by someone_whoisthat

It's the only acceptable form of "White Saviourism" in the Modern Age.

As "allies," these obviously "privileged" and "virtuous" upper-middle-class white folks will save all of us from prejudice.

All while assuring us that DROPPING standards for "brown people" and "Colored People-sorry-I meant-People of Color," is definitely the way forward for them.

I reject "Person of Color" or "Brown Person" or "Black Person," from these condescending "Progressives." It's another way to say the "N-Word," in my book and it's supremely hypocritical of them to treat us like we CAN'T do it ourselves, can't succeed, can't do math, can't read, can't show up on time, etc.

Disgusting!

Serious question. Why is people of color okay but not colored people? It's literally the exact same thing.

The same reason we're told to use "enslaved person" instead of "slave" or "homeless person" instead of "bum": it's a concept called "people first language" that popped up in the last fifteen years or so
