| 26. I always thought that term as racist |
|
as it set "white" as the racial benchmark and everyone else was "of color".
I understand how it correlates to the racial power structure of the United States, but to use the term seems to perpetuate the dynamic.
Then again, if the term is so offensive, the NAACP should change their acronym.
