No love for “of colour”

jtyoung:

I know it’s currently the politically correct term for anyone who isn’t white but I’d be just as happy to see the phrase “people of colour” and its variants disappear. It erases my racial/cultural identity as handily as the most vociferous racism and co-opts my agreement/solidarity without my consent.
