Like a lot of PC terms...from guilt-ridden white liberals. Black folks
never use this term, as far as I've ever heard. Likewise with "physically
challenged". My black karate Sensei used to periodically laugh at the
shame and embarassment associated with any speech "coloration"...to the
point where some people won't even mention skin color when describing
another person.
"Of color" isn't just blacks - it's also Mexicans and other non-whities.
I think some of the whiny liberal politicians I've heard use it
have been African-Americans of color (as opposed to white immigrants
from South Africa or Rhodesia.)
