How, exactly, does that end up in the arsenal of vernacular that someone uses in their toolkit?
Maybe he meant "people of color" which is perfectly acceptable. It's sad when a slip of this nature is news. Then again this is xuen so it's expected. Still not discussion worthy.
You just highlighted exactly how stupid it all is. Thanks for that.
Just re-arrange, add in "of" and presto-chango!!!

I think everyone should leave the DNC and the RNC to be fair. Let's start living by our own principles and get out of the corporate agenda driven clubs like these.

As the right loses seat after seat after seat. Can't wait until November to shut all the Trump morons up. Sitting ducks, all of them.
