It’s easy to say. It’s easier on the tongue than ‘people of darker pigmentation’ or ‘people of increased levels of melanin.’ I remember when I was training in martial arts and they referred to everyone who wasn’t a white belt as ‘color belts.’ Also, whites are still the majority in this country, and most, if not all, minority groups have issues and causes that are different from that of the former, and many of these issues transcend different minority distinctions yet don’t apply to most white folks, if at all. As for whites not having color: I’ve always wondered how such color distinctions have come about for so many people. Not even the darkest African is the color of a raven, and technically I’m brown, but in reality I’m more pinkish oliveish tannish light brownish. But don’t let it get to you. It’s only a vernacular distinction between minorities (who together are still the minority) and the majority.
