Firstly "people of color" is, yes, a BS pseudoscientific category which is not recognized outside the USA and a few other countries in its cultural orbit.
Poverty is above all correlated with access to economic capital. If "people of color" are poor, and it's important to you to help "people of color" (rather than poor people), then you should be pleased, because Harvard is helping them. Personally, I care about helping poor people regardless of their genetic or dermatological characteristics.
Okay, so since you don't recognise that people of colour are a thing outside of America...
Is it not a DEI program to provide Diverse, Equitable and Inclusive school admissions to the poor.
They mean the term “people of colour” is BS.
And I agree. “Coloured people” is offensive but “people of colour” isn’t?
I roll my eyes so hard I see my brain every time I hear it.
The gays vs Gays
The blacks vs Blacks
The poors vs the poor
Coloured People vs People of Colour
I don’t see your point.
They're not a thing anywhere. It's pseudoscience based on America's unusual history.
Not sure what point this is making. Diversity and inclusion of values, or viewpoints, say, is a decent and valuable goal. But what it means in America is diversity of skin color. Which is only interesting if one is a racist (very literally) - as it seems many American progressives are, deep down. I'm talking about the racism of low expectations - the belief that poor little dark-skinned people can't make it on their own (despite all the evidence) and need special treatment.
People of colour aren't a thing anywhere? Damn, gotta inform like.... 6.5 billion people they don't exist.
Do you fail to see how people of certain socioeconomic backgrounds and racial backgrounds may have different values and viewpoints thus making them worthy of inclusion by virtue of having different values and viewpoints?
Like... I feel like you're focused on the racial background of this while ignoring the fact that -to paraphrase you- Poor little Mayo kids will also benefit from DEI practices that admit people based on personal experience over "qualification".
Isn't part of the American dream that anyone, of any make and model can find opportunity if they talk to the right person?
You are making my point for me. 6.5 billion people don't care what you, a person of European ancestry with a repressed superiority complex, think about them. Having traveled in all four corners of the world, I can tell you that you are totally out of touch.
Do you think people can do that? Just go on the internet and lie?
Not sure what you're referring to but I see you downvoted me, thus declaring that you don't care what my answer is, so you should not expect a response. Good night.
Oh no! A bigot doesn't wanna talk to me.
