…what??? Are you trying to claim that people of color is offensive? It’s not the same at all. “Colored” is a slur, you wang. -Mod U
“PEOPLE of color” focuses on personhood as opposed to skin color.
this is not limited to the term “POC”
“people-first language” is a standard in all psychological writing (and other academic fields too), bc it is most respectful. for instance if you read a study on autism they will refer to their experimental subjects as “children with autism” NOT “autistics” or “autistic children”. People-first language is standard because it emphasizes that these individuals are people first, their characteristics second.^^^^^^^^^
