We agreed that it's no different from 'colored people' and that it's a divisive, disgusting term.
My Uber driver and I hated on the term POC. He's Cuban/Mexican-his wife is white. He said the term pits him and their daughter vs his wife.

Assumes that the experience of all white people are essentially the same, and of all those who aren't white are essentially the same.

It's so depressing. I've lived long enough that I figured we had racism beat. Then the *liberals* brought it back.
