Democrats: It's Time to Retire the Term 'People of Color'

> To be sure, all racial minorities have something in common, which is that they directly or indirectly deal with racial bias, or the consequence of it, from white people. However, the type, scope and impact — and each group’s understanding of intention — varies widely. And using the term “people of color” glosses over those differences, suggesting that all racial and ethnic groups will be primed to react similarly to the same messaging about racism.

>"Democrats are now in the thick of a come-to-Jesus reckoning over these losses, and it should begin with this obvious truth: There is no deep cultural, social, economic or political linkage between Black, Latino, Indigenous and Asian Americans — at least not one that can be leveraged by the party for votes.

In November, Latinos swung hard for Trump, and the former president had a notable hike in support from Asians. Indigenous voters, crucial in helping Biden win Arizona and Wisconsin in 2020, had no such effect in the vital swing states this go-round, although a majority still voted for Democrats. Black voters remained Democrats’ bulwark, albeit a compromised one, with Kamala Harris netting 8 out of 10 Black voters, down from Biden’s 9 out of 10 in 2020."

The progressive views on identity politics adopted by the Democrats aren't gaining them allies or votes from the very demographics they claim to be fighting for; quite the opposite, which is a real hoot. It wouldn't surprise me to see similar voter defections among women and LGBTQ voters.

I don’t think I’ve heard that term used in a long time.

Is that because orange is a color too?
