The term "people of color" is now racist, apparently.

Large-scale movements try to encompass all of our struggles under one umbrella movement to create unity and community. And while that’s all well and good, it can become harmful when we allow for these ideals to seep into how we approach systematic and institutional issues like racism.
...
By using “people of color†instead of specific community names, we contribute to erasure by insinuating that all ethnic groups are interchangeable – which we know is not true.
...
Often, when we only bring ourselves to label all non-white communities as people of color, we’re contributing to a culture of erasure and long-standing violence.

It's not going to stop POCs from using it in referring to non-whites collectively.

From 14 year old little girls to middle aged black men? I suppose anything is possible.
