To me the term "People of Color" denotes a common identity as a minority and/or marginalized population it also extends in my opinion to historical groups aswell as people percieved as "white" being that they are of totally european extraction but align themselves with non-white populations.

I consider Jews regardless of coloring as people of color; portugese kids I grew up with along with sicilians I knew growing up didn't really see themselves as white more like white people of color it was really strange.


Of course it at the end of the day is up to the person but also strangely enough I don't see Chinese or Japanese people seeing themselves as being "People of Color" other than the activist/academic types I am around.
