"I thought WHITE was the absence of color and black is ALL colors combined."

It is. That is why I erased it from the comment I made. It is funny that gub and I thought exactly the same though.

So NOW everyone that isn't white calls themselves people of color?

The answer to the question - “Are black and white colors?” - is one of the most debated issues about color. Ask a scientist and you’ll get a reply based on physics: “Black is not a color, white is a color.” Ask an artist or a child with crayons and you’ll get another: “Black is a color, white is not a color.” (Maybe!)
