Hat tip Truth Revolt
That was the theme at South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia, Washington. A staff meeting was held on campus apparently to discuss issues of race, and the "staffers of color" reportedly didn't feel comfortable discussing issues of race with staffers of "no color" (whites).

Do you see how the new language is developing here? And the focal point, as usual, is on our campuses. "People of color" is a recent term which means everybody except whites. If that is not a deliberate effort to divide people, I don't know what is. What I see it is, "Hey, blacks, Latinos, Asians, Native Americans and Middle Easterners! Let's all band together as "people of color". Whites are excluded. It is quite clear. It is racist itself; it is taking us back decades to a place nobody should want to go. It is wrong, and it should be stopped. How do you stop it? By calling it what it is-using the left's own terms- racist, exclusionist and divisive. If we are going to abolish the n-word, we can also abolish terms like "people of color". After all, I remember when I was a kid, "colored people" was considered a polite way to refer to blacks. Later it became "offensive". Now it is in fashion-as long as you put the color part after the people part.
Colored people-bad
People of color-good
Go figure.
