    You heard it first here. To be politically correct many of us must now refer to ourselves (in Texas) as Anglxes.

    I find it interesting that on MSDNC / MSNBC there is a 100 percent use of LatinX. How about ABC/NBC/CBS?
    I assume Fox would have close to zero useage?

    On a semi related note. I find it strange how 'People of Color (PoC)' is now a politically correct term when its just a few steps removed from saying 'Colored people'.

    That is interesting. Is it just a historical thing, or is there something about the grammatical structure that makes “colored person” more offensive?

    I especially like the great pink washing of having three of the tops arms industry companies having women CEO's --a nice image of female nurturing.

    People of color is more expansive and includes any race of color, while colored people was used to describe blacks often in a derogatory way. A lot has to do with the historical context of the expression versus the literally meaning of the words.
