…could you please respect the preference of a vast majority of blacks, latinos/hispanics and asians of this nation who prefer to be called, collectively, “people of color,” rather than “minorities

Herman, commenting on Hispanic? Latino? Or What?

Being…hapa, I like to think I’m less a minority now than when I was born. That said, “minorities” is definitely a sticky word. “People of color” makes me twitchy and unreasonably (to some) grumpy.

(Hahah. Tumblr! You’re killing me, dropping that last “! I know it’s a quote, but dude.)
