The terminology is strange, in that Black is a total absence of color. From a scientific standpoint anyway.
When I was a kid, my grandparent's generation still called black people "colored", and I remember thinking it was strange back then too. I remember thinking that since caucasians were the ones with blue eyes, green eyes, red hair, yellow hair, brown hair, etc, why weren't caucasians the ones called "colored"?
They are not the same 'oppressed', but when it comes to university recruiting, Dr Jim's children will be the least favorable choice given the children of the three families the same level academic performance or even Jim's children are a bit better but not better enough.
Jackson's children might need only 1200 but Jim's children may need 1800 to get into the same uni.
Both Mr. Zhao's children and Jackson's children need not to pay for tuition fee and if they are in a state Uni the money comes from Dr. Jim's taxes who meanwhile needs to pay the cost of uni out of his own pocket for his children who need to work much harder to get admission from the same uni with Zhao's and Jackson's.
Jackson and Zhao should be a comparable match though. Zhao should have dropped school in China ever earlier than Jackson and his starting point should be even worse.
THE LEFT says they are oppressed. Not me. I'm talking about THE LEFT.
Back then, during ww2, many Asians say "I am not a J*p"
Reminds me of my Japanese-American (second generation) friend when we were stationed in the Philippines together. When we were out in some of the smaller towns, older Filipinos would sometimes look at him suspiciously and ask, "Are you Japanese?" He'd say, "No, I'm Chinese. My name is Wong. Tony Wong." And that was just in the 80s.

yep, to avoid confrontation.
My brother in law is a black man. When he married my sister, her Asian friends didn't really say anything, but you could just tell that they all thought there was something wrong with my sister.
Caucasian is synonymous with white. The Caucasus mountains, where the white race originated, is in the middle east. That's white. they are white.
If you watched the video, they only want to be minorities today so they can get "the benefits of federal minority status", e.g minority business grants, affirmative action, ect. They are making this up so they can get their hands on resources that were never intended for them.
When America was segregated, they were saying that they were white (just like Mexicans) so they could be treated better than non-white minorities. Now, fast forward today and they don't want to be white anymore so they can get resources and protections meant for minorities.
No. That's trying to game the system. It's opportunism. Let Middle Eastern people stay white.
So you're a person of color then?
White is an actual color correct?
White people are both claiming to be a color (white) and NOT a person of color, you guys talk in circles.
So what your saying is Racism from the Majority group forced people to claim something they were not in order to NOT BE CONSIDERED BLACK correct? Because Black people had no rights due to WHITE FOLK RACIST POLICIES correct?
Now, White people are mad because people NOT from Europe want to claim what they Actually are now that you can be free and be a minority in the USA.
White people create all the problems they now complain about but always seem to miss that point. If it was not for the racist BS that white folk continued for 2 centuries, none of this stuff would be an issue.
Your white daddies and grandaddies ruined the country and seeded the division that keeps people divided today. That is the only lasting legacy of White Folk in America for Over 2 centuries.

You originally think Dr. Jim is more privileged than Zhao because you described his salary or neighborhood earning number.
I am just showing an example when Jim will be in an unfavorable position while Zhao and Jackson are in the favorable end created by the left.
The word oppressed could be used accordingly by the leftists.
Fairness is a rare seen and some times are considered to be an oppression.
However, back to the topic, POC can not be only used by black people. It only describes your skin color as an opposite to white. I think they do the same separation in metal trading. Colored metals vs black metals or base metals? I can not remember exactly but there is a such separation. Treat it as a term that is it.
