Re: Honest question, not trying to offend anyone

[case]

I think the problem is that people are using it in the wrong contexts.
"POC" as a catch-all term for "non-white" is accurate and useful if and only if you are actually talking about something, or a situation in which, or pointing out the differences between, white people and non-white people as grouped together as "white vs non-white."

The problem is, it makes no sense to use it in any other context, but people do it anyway. It's stupid to say, for example, "POCs suffer from some specific thing" when you mean "one specific minority group" because that stupidly lumps a bunch of uninvolved people into the specific minority group and implies it's a problem common to all minority groups. It's also stupid to call every Japanese character in a Japanese anime a "character of color" when you are just talking about something within the context of the anime only. That'd make pretty much every single anime and every single manga PROGRESSIVE WORKS FULL OF CHARACTERS OF COLOR and that makes no sense because it's NOT in a white vs nonwhite context, and Japanese is the default race in the context in which those authors are writing.

tl;dr It can be a useful term if you use it properly. People don't.
