I have the feeling that we are still in the early stages of AI adoption, where regulation hasnt fully caught up yet. I can imagine a future where LLMs sit behind KYC identification and automatically report any suspicious user activity to the authorities... I just hope we won’t someday look back on this period with nostalgia :)
I took it as an honest question, but the quotations mean you're probably right. For the record, it's still a widely used term in DEI contexts, even though there has been some criticism and alternatives promoted:
There were a lot of signs in America at one point in time that said "No Coloreds", "Colored Section", and similar phrases to indicate the spaces that white people had decided non-white people could or could not go.
At the same time, there were not a lot of signs saying "No Persons of Color" or "Persons of Color Section".
Likewise, my grandfather who died 35 years ago was very fond of saying "the coloreds". His use of the term did not indicate respect for non-white people.
Historical usage matters. They are not equivalent terms.
To who? Not to me, and I don't have a single black friend who likes "person of color" any more than "colored". What gives you the authority to make such pronouncements? Why are you the language police? This is a big nothing-burger. There are real issues to worry about, let's all get off the euphemism treadmill.
