Can someone please explain to me what "person of color"means.

It's theoretically a "PC" way to say "non-white" and usually means a black person.

Every time I hear that expression I try to wonder who first coined it.......bet you money it wasn't "a person of color".

Think about that for a minute.

Person of color (plural: people of color, persons of color, sometimes informally abbreviated POC) is a term used primarily in the United States to describe any person who is not white. The term encompasses all non-white groups, emphasizing common experiences of racism. The term is not equivalent in use to "colored", previously used in the US as a term for African Americans only.

People of color was introduced as a preferable replacement to both non-white and minority, which are also inclusive, because it frames the subject positively; non-white defines people in terms of what they are not (white), and minority frequently carries a subordinate connotation.[1] Style guides for writing from American Heritage,[2] the Stanford Graduate School of Business,[3] Mount Holyoke College,[4] recommend the term over these alternatives. It may also be used with other collective categories of people such as students of color, men of color and women of color. Person of color typically refers to individuals of non-European heritage.[5]

The untranslated English term has also seen some limited usage among Germans of color, especially when stressing the postcolonial perspective,[6] but so far has not found entrance into general German language and is not necessarily known by the general populace.

Why does there have to be a disguised (but obvious) "poor me Im black" thread every ****ing day? Sometimes multiple times a day.... Get over it.

Bingo.

TS knows exactly what that term means. He made this thread only to cause another heated debate in the lounge like a little, whining bitch that he is.

Absolutely pathetic.
