1 definition by Petmakmak
A Person of Color is the opposite of a Person of Noncolor. A largely confusing and inaccurate term, as one of the colors the term describes, is in fact, similarly to the noncolor, not a color at all.
There are those who believe one or both of the noncolors are in fact colors. Therefore, you should make sure which definition is being used before addressing someone, so that you don't risk offending the person.

Could you please give this envelope to the Person of Color over there. It's the one who is standing next to the Person of Noncolor.
