N=141 (dropping option 4). Among people to whom the term ‘Person of Color’ (POC) applies, 50% dislike it, 10% like it, and 40% are indifferent. For the record, I dislike it and don’t use it.https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1083841552781258752 …

Someone (I think
@antoniogm) joked that what America needs is a class war, not a culture war. I’d rather not have a war at all, but I agree if we must have one, a “class war” (though not necessarily constructed in socialist terms) is a healthier one to have.Show this thread -
One reason I think
@AOC is a net healthy addition to the political stage, despite being skeptical of her economic policies is that she seems to be pursuing this class-over-culture framing. Not saying drop cultural identity. Just don’t make it the flag/symbolizing variable.Show this thread -
Tldr: it’s your choice whether to use the term. It doesn’t offend me, but it does not serve me either. It represents a slight negative utility which I would tolerate if I thought it was at least helping people who needed help, but it doesn’t do that either. So I don’t use it.
