"African-American" is even more racist...I wasn't born in Africa, don't speak any African language and did not grow up in any African culture. NOT that I don't love Africa and find it's people amazing, I'm just saying, I'm not an African...I am a brown skinned American, and an American first and foremost. This is the country I live in love and would die for if needs be.

"People of Color" just means a member of a non-white minority. That includes Mestizos, mixed people, Asians, and blacks. Jews are a minority, but, for the most part, they don't have their minority statues written on their faces.

Oh, and if "person of color" is racist, then please let these folks know:

What's hillarious is that in 100 years all that Sheet will be out the window. The mixing going on today in the US is *amazing*.

My gf is mexican, irish, native american and chinese.
My buddies kids are Swedish, guatemalan and Indian (From india)

"white" and "black" and all that stuff is a dinosaur with 2 feet in the tar.
