Friday I made my quarterly, yes every 3 months, visit to my dermatologist to have another squamous cell cancer cut out of leg, the left one this time. The dermatologist asked me how long it had been since I had had a melanoma removed from my arm. 10 years, stage two. Lucky bastard, me.

He gave me the standard speech, one I know by heart now. Try and avoid the sun between 10 AM and 4 PM. Wear a hat, long sleeve shirts even while driving, and if you see something say something. Next, he told me that my pink Irish-American self should be living in Ireland or Scandinavia or northern Europe somewhere. Arizona, he reminded me, was not at all a good choice for someone such as myself.

"Write me a prescription to move and I'll relocate to Cork, Ireland if someone will pay for it."

Other than the possible brutal effects of the sun skin color really should not matter.

Be sure to stay on top of that... and I agree. There is one race and we come in a variety of skin colors which should be meaningless...
 
It's confusing. One can be a person of color while not being a colored person. I prefer people of hue, or better yet: people.
 
The term "people of color" will last until the year 2100.

By then, 90%+ of the American population will consist of four ethnicities, all of which we today label as "people of color."

When that happens, there will no longer be a need for the term "people of color."
 
I hate that term. Just say they're white, black, brown, red, or whatever their skin color is. Unless you're a butt hurt Leftist whose only concern is identity politics and calls people racist when you say something they don't like (when it has nothing to do with race nor hatred), no one cares. That phrase can just go away. It's dumb.
