       Ok this is probably a stupid question, but why is it "people of colour" but not "people of black" and "people of white"?

       @restioson Because there's white supremacy and everyone else. Anti-blackness is particularly pernicious, but it's referring to a whole swath of people who have nothing in common except their humanity and that they were designated an 'inferior' race.

       To be clear I'm asking why the terms are ordered differently, not why they exist or what they mean.
