No. My point is the same. If it is wrong to define people just by the color of their skin then it is wrong to do it with either a noun or a pronoun. The claim that it is "de-humanizing" just is not true. It is just a product of being trapped with a victim mentality that defies logic. And it is getting silly.
Remember when we had to apologize to members of the National Association of Colored People for calling them "Colored People"? Well now apparently it is okay to call them "People of color".
None of this silly semantics shit accomplishes anything except perpetuating the victim mentality. It allows them to create racism where it dos not exist. And the more they create racism where it does not exist the more they offend people who might otherwise support their cause.
No group of people can demand "equality" at the same time they demand special rules that only apply to them. I am not talking about affirmative action programs that are just temporary and designed to create a more level playing field. I am talking about creating racism where it does not exist.
