Why do people struggle to understand POC was a phrase coined to describe non white people living in white majority societies. It's not a term for any non white person. It's whole existence is for the forementioned reason. Google is fucking free you Clowns

If you're an asian living in asia or a black person in Africa and identify as a POC im not gonna correct you but know that you're using a term incorrectly.

POC was also used to explain institutional racism and structures specific to WHITE majority societies

Yall a really fucking dumb for ratioing that that girl for stating a fact before you even opened safari to fact check yourself. Also. How you telling a black person about a phrase coined by a black person.....

And no, wiki isn't a great source so if you're skeptical of the validity of what I said, read up on frantz fanon and also mlk jrs use of the phrase "citizen of colour"

I'm not a PhD holder but I study black history at university and heavily focus on postcolonial/slavery black identity and society

I can send you journals and peer assessed academic readings

Also. Literally nobody is saying you're white. I'm saying by literal definition you're a person of colour but if youre talking about poc in a sociological context it's not the same fucking thing.
