'Colored People' vs 'Minorities' vs 'People of Color' vs 'Non-White People' vs ?

[Dirty Shoez]

What term of phrase do you use to describe Non-White People?

I usually say People of Color, but Colored People has always sounded like the right one. Although, as a Brown-skinned man, it is certainly more acceptable for me to use Colored People than it would be for a White Man like 2-0-Sixx to use it.


In Sierra Leone, i hear they call all Non-Sierra Leonese people "Portu!" (From Portuguese, obviously.) We need a word like that.

I don't think 2-0-Sixx is white.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

2-0-Sixx is white and Tadou is half white.

The term "Colored" soounds like something someone from the 50's would say, but I guess it's acceptable.

 

[Talus]

fuck catergorizing

 

[DubbC415]

i hate "minorities".

 

[Dirty Shoez]

The man was correct. I am half white. It is a wonderful feeling to wake up every day, and realize that i have this splendid White genetic material flowing through my veins. Sometimes, I am so proud of being half white that I openly weep. But this is another topic entirely.

'Colored' is definitely bad. 'Colored people' is not so bad...sometimes. If you say, "I know a lot of colored people", thats not going to be good. People of Color is better than both, but is a bit lofty. Minorities...I just don't like it because other people like it. Easy as that. Its a Neo-Hippie type of word. You can't be a Rebel and PC, and there is no real balance between the two.....so find a new word and quit bitching.

Colored I would agree is bad. Colored people, I would say is pretty close to that, but I'm white so I can't really say how someone would feel or react to it being a "person of color." I usually just call people by their FIRST NAME. And if people ask about nationality I then proceed to say exactly, not just, "oh he's a person of color..." I think catagorizing people is fucking stupid though.

So what your some kind of Bisexual Halfbreed?

ROFL!~

I usually just call people by their FIRST NAME.

Yeah! However, if lets say, all non-pasty beings on this planet had one, or possibly three legs we might find such terms usefull. But while we all tread this soil with our measly pair, we might as well put these so called "first names" to use.

But can you pass the paper bag test?

 

[WHITE DEVIL]

The one where he sticks his head in a paper bag and tries not to suffocate?

No, sadly. His last attempt resulted in CPR.

 

[XxtraMannish]

^^^nah the test where if your skin is lighter than a paper bag, you are a "higher class of negro." lol

 

[Dirty Shoez]

But can you pass the paper bag test?

It'd be a tie, depending on whether the bag was recycled or not.


Categorizing people is the only way to go. Its especially funny when you use words like "Oriental" instead of `Asian', and akward pauses follow.

There is a middle ground between Slur and PC, people. Find it. Enjoy it.

If you aint White your black

atleast in this society thats how it works

5000

 

[fodewada]

i dont think color means shit anymore its all about how much green you are the more green the more they bypass wht color you are reminds me of do the right thing when the guido is asking his brother why he likes magic (my ass got infected coach) because hes different even though his brother hates blacks its all about what type of character you are

2-0-Sixx is white

!!! I always assumed you were Filipino !!!

 

[2-0-Sixx]

That's odd...a number of people from this site have said the same thing.

My mom (step-mom) is Filipino. Maybe I mentioned that a long ass time ago.

 

[Techniq]

i don't feel like i need 2 have a word 2 call non-white people, that's why we have NAMES

all i see from u is all these damn race posts, GET OVER IT

 

[Dirty Shoez]

We don't always know names, friend. When you're out in the real world, talking to real people, sometimes it is necessary to refer to groups of people by something other than each individual name.


That you would be so sensitive about this.....you're probably racist yourself. Or your Father is a hardcore racist and you hate him and don't ever want someone to say you're just like him. Some kind of dumbass shit like that.
