Forcing you to participate in the absurdity is the actual purpose.
Recently, Arizona Republican Eli Crane was rebuked for referring to “people of color” as “colored people.”
That’s a controversy which would, at any other time in the history of the English language, be incomprehensible to a sensible reader. After all, there’s no practical difference in the phrases. In fact, the choice to give preference to the phrase “people of color” is worse than practically useless to an English speaker -- it’s needlessly more burdensome to both the talker and the listener.
Consider this formula with any other trait. Would you refer to yourself as a “person of dark hair,”

Many years ago, we were presented with a political coalition called LGB (lesbian, gay, bisexual), which later became LGBT somewhere in the 1990s to include transexuals. This later became LGBTQ, then LGBTQIA in recent years.
Back in March of 2022, when ESPN analysts protested a Florida bill which prohibits K-3 instruction regarding sexuality (with which nearly two-of-three Americans openly agree), the announcer referenced the coalition as “LGBTQIA+.”
That is eight, count ‘em, eight syllables that people are expected to speak whenever referencing this expanding group of supposedly marginalized people who, outside of their unusual sexual proclivities and/or peculiar means of self-identification, are otherwise completely unrelated. But that ridiculous acronym has quickly became the standard in professing one’s progressive bona fides here in America.
And yet -- there seems to be no consensus on the basic meaning of some of the letters of the acronym we’re meant to profess and chant in unison each June. Does the Q stand for “queer,” or “questioning?” Does the A stand for “asexual” or “allies?” It all seems to very much depend on whom you ask.

There are 11 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary. Those who don't. And confused trans types who think binary is a social construct.

“people of color” is code for “non-whites”.

I believe the “2S” is “Twin Spirit”.
...could be wrong lol. I have heard it though.
That’s what others said. I figure it means down for whatever…
I’ll just move to calling them the 1234567890ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ community...get it over with.
One syllable covers them all, fags or queer.
I’m white so technically I’m a “person of color” too.

One of my grandsons, struggling to find himself, decided between “Pan-sexual” or “Omni-sexual”. He chose Omni, I guess which means he lives it so much, put a lock on the fridge, and don’t leave him alone with pets.
We are so proud.
Ugghh. I’m glad I have zero direct experience.
I’m sorry that you do. Not sure what I would do or say.
There was no test for Covid. It was the flu, and we played the PCR test which is not an affirmative testing method. Covid was a category invented to cover many maladies that the medical community already treats.
In short, the Covid 19 hysteria was government propaganda to shut down the government and change the world.
Yes, but the wrong color. The train is loading now.

I agree with that 100%. So was the common cold and bronchitis (covid). They don’t have a vax for the cold. They don’t have a vax for Covid. Any respiratory infection for three years was “covid” according to the doctors and the CDC, whoever.
IMO, people caught a really bad cold or other respiratory infection, went to the doctor, and had covid. If they stayed home, it was probably a bad cold or respiratory virus. IMO, the shots they gave people killed their immune system and allowed them to catch everything going around and then some.
