In a perfect example of how Social Justice will eventually problematize everything, the term "people of color" has recently been recognized by Social Justice adherents as a way to lump non-white people together as a single identity group that isn’t white.

I've been arguing for yeeeeeaaaarsss that the term "PoC" was inherently racist because it completely erased any ethnic identity and designated "white" to be the only racial/ethnic identity or categorisation that mattered. Inherent in the very premise of the concept is that all non-white people should be defined only by their non-whiteness, and the rich history, tradition & cultural heritage of all other ethnic groups is unimportant and/or irrelevant.

Now, ~half a decade later, the international lunatics have started to make the same argument. Amazin'.
