And I think no matter your ethnicity or country you call home, you very well know what "person of color" means. Let's please not go down that insulting road. <--- If you pick at this paragraph, I shall close this thread. "Without pinning an actual year, I'm old enough… "And I think no matter your ethnicity or country you call home, you very well know what "person of color" means.": I understand what one definition of the term means but given the defintion of what constitutes a specific color technically neither black or white should be included as a person of color. That being said I feel the term itself is wrong in terms of its intended connotation and usage. That is it is derrogatory and desparaging. Insulting ultimately.

"Let's please not go down that insulting road.": If I have said something that was insulting, I swear on my father's grave (who died when I was 12-13, I am currently in my 20s. Note: This is NOT for sympathy. Only to demonstrate how serious I am being. I believe that if you invoke the name of the dead while doing an act of evil (which lying is- this situation would not be one of the exceptions to that rule) you are causing them pain (spiritual). The point is that I did not mean it to be insulting whatsoever. If I have, I apologise.

"If you pick at this paragraph, I shall close this thread.": With all due respect, do not users have the right to be the ones to close threads on their own walls and not somebody else?
