Person of Color

Any person who is not at least 7/8 white aka Indo-European or Caucasian, as long as the other 1/8 does not include black aka Sub-Saharan African. But may include East Asian and/or Native American aka Amerindian.

Any person who is not at least 15/16 white, if the other 1/16 includes black. Although the "one drop" rule includes any black ancestry, it is difficult to enforce after five generations, especially if the black ancestor is not straight maternal.

People of color include blacks, Asians, and Native Americans.

Homer Plessy was 1/8 black and therefore had to use "colored" facilities in the Segregated South. Mr. Plessy was a Person of Color.

Thomas Jefferson's slave concubine was 3/4 white, but since her maternal grandmother was black and a slave, she was also a black slave. The children that she bore with Jefferson were 7/8 white, but they were legally black slaves.

"Color" is rinsed after five generations if it is black and four generations if it is Asian and/or Native American.

McDonalds Colors

Every wonder why the colors are Red, Yellow, and White? The answer is simply it is the combination of ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise. Don't ask why they were simply bored, and very very high.

Look for the SIGNS, the SIGNS are EVERYWHERE. All you have to do is believe. McDonalds Colors

color monster

Originally defined as the monster that sneaks up on you while peeing in the woods and names a random color.

When refrencing the color monster, a third party said, "I believe they like to be called African Americans"

We prefer the original definition and try to make the slang for black not a part of normal speach.

"the color monster scared me and made me pee on my leg a little bit"
