Does TC mean to ask why people use poc as an offensive term or as a PC term? Cause I can see it being used for both.

It was a way to describe the bottom guys clear intention, but still fitting it into a gamefaqs 80 character limit topic title.

Fuck bell hooks. She uses the same racist stereotypes about black men, that we see from any run of the mill racist. As for as using people of a color. Because when you say black people stop caring.

Think about Rahm Emanuel fucked up black schools and covered up the murder of a black guy. And he was rewarded. If he did that to any other minority group he would be in hot water.

Typically PoC refers to brown skin people. So Indians and other brown Asians fit. Middle Eastern and Hispanic people fit.

Minorities is typically when people want to include the eastern Asians and white hispanics.

Tho PoC and minorities are technically the same thing, people tend to have different connotation.

Is my take.

Then I know idiots that claim to be native American just on the grounds they where born in America.

I don't think I've heard anyone refer to Native Americans as "Indians" in several years. At least not liberals.

I have. It's a slip of the tongue due to that being taught to me in schools growing up.
