The reason why white people are ‘left out’ when speaking of people of color is because… they aren’t people of color. That’s the whole point. Referring to, say, everyone BUT white people offends you for some reason? I think it’s more offensive that terms like ‘people of color’ have to be used in the first place. If everyone was treated equally we wouldn’t need such phrases, but because people are STILL judged, often times, on the color of their skin, there will be times when we refer to these people as a cohesive unit because they often have the same kinds of prejudices. ‘People with darker skin’ basically says the same thing as ‘people of color’… ‘People from [whatever] country’ isn’t general enough to refer to all dark[er] complected people, and neither is referring to a specific nationality or origin. I don’t think this phrase has anything to do with shunning whites as cultureless, lesser people with no personality. I’m not sure where you would get those inferences from.
