This is another clue at the perversion of the struggle against racism and how far its gone. At one time "colored" was a demeaning term, but it always referred to people who were African American. "Negro" was another term that people tried to do away with and replace it with African American. Of course with a booming population of voluntary immigrants from Africa, "African America" doesn't have the same political meaning any more either.

But in order to graft illegals from South and Central America onto the civil rights movement, we got "people of color", a passive term, meaning nothing. Are Chinese Americans "people of color"?
