Has anyone ever wondered why:

Why is it, that the term “colored people” is no longer used and is now considered a pejorative term, but the term “people of color” has come into widespread use, and is ok to use?

For the same reason the term Black people is ok but the Spanish term for black (Negro) isn’t.
