How is the term "people of colour" any different from "coloured (people)"?

>>79967843
at least you don't have them. I'd rather be around asians than blacks any day of the week, euphemism treadmill aside.
>>
>>79967843
It's not, you'd have to be extremely dumb to think so, but I think that "colored people" was used during a time that blacks were discriminated against and thus it has a bad stigma to it.

if blacks weren't poor and affected by drug use, they would be pleasant people

No matter what you call blacks, the word always ends up being a slur.

it's like when the baboons heard the word nigardly and got all in your face and sheet. they didn't know the word. KEK.

10/10. omg that's actually true.

>>79968410
The nasty niggers don't understand words very well. That leads to much confusion.

Just take their names for instance -- 137 different variation of the spelling of Erika.

no, they really wouldn't, and you would know this if you ever lived in the south.
>>
>>79967843
Shiiiet I think I might know.

"Colored people" puts the word colored first and SJWs don't want that to be the first thing people notice whereas ""people" of color" puts people/person first above colored, as in they are "people" like us above all else first.

Most of them seem pretty obsessed with muh Africa, so why dont they use African names?
>>
>>79967843
It's no different but "colored people" had been demonized enough to the point of no return but the chimps needed a name to include everyone but white. As the chimps at the blm meeting were scratching their heads Shekel McSheckelburg strolled by and suggested "people of color" that will be five shekels please. The chimps, now armed with their new slogan got on their hoverboards and rode off into the sunset.

Any word used to describe a negative thing, like retards, cripples, jews, and niggers, will eventually take on a negative connotation. By making the word cumbersome and something that only faggots would say, it prevents the word from being used disparagingly.

"People-First Language"

Basically 'it's not offensive because we emphasize the person first'.

Because as Patrice O'Neal has pointed out: They make fun of each other for it.

I once had an African substitute teacher and all the blacks mocked his accent.

It sounds more sophisticated and respectful to superficially-educated non-intellectual people.

Erika is an Aryan Germanic name.

Then wouldn't you just say "people", and end it there, since that's supposed to be more important?

"People of Color" means everybody except white people. Think about the connotations here. It's a group of people that is the entire world, just minus one group. It's a point of solidarity for them, and it puts white people right where the merchants want them.

"People of Color" is better than "Colored People" because that's the term they are telling us to use. You wouldn't want to use any language that goes against the master plan, would you goyim?

White people have color too, bigot. Red when flustered/angry, blue/purple when cold or sick; green when infected with gangrene, orange in the sun, etc.

Just call them niggers

Any term can become derogatory depending on how it's used. If we start to simply call them "people" with an inflection of obvious animosity, they'll eventually loath being referred to as people.
>>
>>79967843
People of colour implies they own the colour

Coloured people implies the colour owns them.

It's subtle. It's designed to make you pass empowerment over to others
