So does that mean that the NAACP’s full name must never be uttered, for fear of being branded a racist?

Nothing short of her resignation should be accepted, make the media live by their own standards!

Wasn’t her defense that she meant to say, “people of color”, and not “colored people” ? That’s the rhetorical knife edge that rules the world these days. ... and who wields the knife?

Ethnic names that have been in use through my 69 years:

colored, black, African-American

Then of course there's the N-word, which has been popular in the black community since Jesus was a pup. They change their race names like they change their underwear.

Maybe she meant ‘people of color’. I hear that phrase bandied about, often.

PC: The use of the term “colored people” is a racial slur,

but

PC: The use of the term “people of color” is not.

“Colored people” is now a racial slur?

No words.

Hermione got infused with melanin in the new Harry Potter, and people criticizing it are called racist. So this is just more of the same. If Hermione had been black from episode 1, no one would have said anything, but it seems everyone is shoving PC down our throats, including Rowling herself, and I for one resent it.

I’m so old I can remember when “Colored” was the polite term to use. I’m also so old I don’t give a crap about this PC nonsense.

What’s the difference? Nothing, between “people of color” and “colored people”. This is a prime example of libtardism.

That isnt a slur.

“Nigger” would be the slur.

They change it every once in while so they can manufacture outrage that whitey didn’t get the memo...why don’t they just skip all the pretense and go to “Former Pharoahic Kangz and Queenz, past progenitors of the human race (and caucasian mutants), future Supreme Beings of the known Universe!”
