Jumpman81 08/08/19 2:07:31 PM #25:	I've never heard anyone under the age of 80 say "colored person." I don't think it's meant with any racist intent, it just sounds weird and archaic. Describing people of African descent as "black" didn't become a thing until the 60s (or maybe late 50s?) and before then "colored" was the only polite alternative to saying the n-word. <cite>Jumpman81 posted [p:925800452] in Why is 'co...

CyricZ 08/08/19 2:16:30 PM #27:	"Colored" is more archaic than straight up racist, but it's similar to referring to black people as "negroes". Also those images of segregated water fountains which say "White" and "Colored". While "people of color" has been coined since like 1800, it hasn't really taken off in modern parlance until the last few years, so as a specific statement, it doesn't have as much historical connotation, and I guess people feel more comfortable using it to refer to groups in the US who aren't white. --- CyricZ <cite>CyricZ posted [p:925800837] in Why is 'co...

Pogo_Marimo 08/08/19 2:22:44 PM #28:	It's actually something that gets debated a lot among black scholars and activists, believe it or not. Some activists want to put an end to the treadmill of terms over the last century by sticking with just one term with sufficient history, others are more keen to adapt their language to disassociate black people with what might be perceived as unempowering language based on racial trends and supremacist usage. It's similar to why many black activists or black rights scholars disavow the use of the "N-Word" as hurtful to black culture regardless of context, and others embrace it. But the simplest answer is that "colored person" has come to be associated with Whjte Supremacists and "person of color" subverts that association. --- It feels like they're pretending.
