Seriously, tho. Anytime someone says "women and people of color," it's a huge sign that they haven't done intersectionality 101.
@gayle Thanks for asking. Yes, it implies that women are one category and people of color are another.

@aurabogado I don't think that's how people mean it but I respect that it may feel that way to other people. What is the preferred wording? -
@gayle For starters: impact > intent. -
@gayle In terms of the right wording, why not say white women, women of color, and men of color? -
@aurabogado From http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Intersectionality … "Just because you are female, or disabled, or a person of colour, or a fat person" Is that bad? -
@gayle So, I'm specifically referring to what I'm referring to, which is that "women and people of color" leaves someone like me out.
