It's a matter of person-centered language as well as historical connotation.

"Colored people" works in the same way as "the blacks" or "the transgenders" or "Martin the Schizophrenic," it makes it all about the otherness for lack of a better term instead of the person.

Historically, colored people just doesn't fly the same way you don't shorten the word Japanese. It's basically irreparable unless the community itself wants to reclaim it like has been happening with "queer."

The other point is "BIPOC" as a term was invented by members of those groups, instead of it being a title given to them by others.

There's a whole other conversation about members of said groups who weren't involved or don't like said term but that's getting away from the point.

Did he though? Looks like he realized his mistake and tried to correct his words to "people of color" instead.

It only took him 43 years to figure that out huh?

Ya, no.
He doesn't even get the 'He's an old coot' pass...if such there is a thing.

No worries. Glad you responded as it is a subject I haven't really looked into. Honestly could have interpreted or assumed most of what you wrote, but a lot I was not aware of.

My dad used "colored people" once. In his defense, he's really old, and hasn't used it again since being gently told that he couldn't use that phase. That GOP member is decidedly not old.

Eli Crane ripped his mask off on the floor. Dude's 40 years old, he has no excuse about being 'born in a different era' or even a small slip of the tongue. His little puffed up and indignant rant that followed that 'slip' entirely gave the game away and said exactly what he meant by those words.

Dude's a piece of shit.
