Who came up with BIPOC? Or NAACP for that matter? By the time I was a kid
'colored' was out and 'negro' was in. Now we're back to 'people of color'?
That means they're colored, right?

This is the truth! I remember when I was in school, the english teacher liked negro, while the german teacher said that was racist and preferred colored.
I stuck with the negro. I've made my choice! ;)
Ive always felt colored to be more offensive than nigger, and negro probably the least offensiive term, but its all stupid. Ive heard nigger both used as a term of endearment and as a term to describe a stupid black person as well - by blacks.
In this country as in Africa, if you want to refer to anything, you probably use a far more detailed description. Like afro carribean, or Pakistani, or Indian, or Chinese, or arab, or Welsh or Scottish, or Irish...or Iranian...Because no way does one word cover everything that isn't 'just like you'
