Wasn’t her defense that she meant to say, “people of color”, and not “colored people” ? That’s the rhetorical knife edge that rules the world these days. ... and who wields the knife?
Thee was no intent. Nothing to see here, move on.
The PC police wields the knife. They bow down to BLM, Muslims and other extremist groups.
POC (people (alternatively, persons) of color)is the current PC term. It is actually a broader term than colored people which, in its segregation days, referred exclusively to persons of African racial heritage. POC embraces everyone who is not visually European in descent.
(I was going to say Caucasian but that term applies not only to Europeans but also to persons from southwestern part of Asia (Middle East to India). However, some of those Caucasians are as dark or darker than many Africans, so the PC crowd goes with visual appearance rather than strict racial categories.)
