'PoC' bothers me a bit. It lumps every non-white coloring together, and we're thrown back to the 'two opposing groups' view of ethnicity.

Plus, pink is a color.

Yeah, PoC seemed to me to still continue the 'us vs them' mentality that I thought we were all trying to get away from.

While it's none of my business what any individual person calls themselves, it does seem strange to coin a term that does nothing more than lump every 'non-caucasian' person into an 'other' grouping, which seems to defeat the purpose entirely...

And interestingly, black isn't a colour.

Oddly enough, neither is white. They are however, the absence and presence of all color. ...I'm not sure what term you would use for that...

Well, to be fair, black people don't actually have black skin, they have (sometimes very dark) brown skin. And white people actually have (soemtimes very pale) pink skin. Both are colours.

Yeah, I hate the term POC as well.
