So then just say “poor people”. I’m always surprised at how many well meaning people actually project racist views unintentionally.

And by the way, many “people of color” groups outperform white people both academically and economically. Asians Americans, for instance.

So I went to school in a recently desegregated school district in the 70's- those who could afford to sent their kids to private schools, then voted against the public school budget at every turn. I don't think you can argue that this would not be in danger of happening again.

Expanding the term POC to include Asians is yet another example of white liberals undermining Black and Latino causes to try to convince themselves that they're not racist, only those nasty conservatives are.
