Colored people is considered racist but people of color is considered OK. That’s like saying “salt shaker” is offensive but “shaker of salt” is not. Shouldn’t that group change its name to the National Assoc. for the Advancement of People of Color, NAAPOC?...

Rush uses “NAALCP” for “...Liberal Colored People”
My search skills are aweful, but there was a story about a college professor who got in trouble (fired maybe?) for pointing out that the phrase “people of color” was not correct usage and should be “colored people.”
Darned if I can find the story now.
