found: The journey from 'colored' to 'minorities' to 'people of color', via NPR Code switch website, Mar. 30, 2014, viewed on Apr. 25, 2016(The use of the phrase "colored people" peaked in books published in 1970. For "minorities," the top-ranked year was 1997. Since then, the term has steadily declined but continues to significantly outstrip the use of "people of color," which reached its apex in 2003; Martin Luther King Jr. referred to "citizens of color" in his speech at the 1963 March on Washington; People of color is a phrase encompassing all nonwhites. When used by whites, people of color usually carries a friendly and respectful connotation, but should not be used as a synonym for black; it refers to all racial groups that are not white; "Person of color" is a useful term, because defining someone by a negative--nonwhite or other than white--seems silly; the term seems to be replacing "minorities," which makes sense, since minorities can be a demographic inaccuracy. In U.S. history, "person of color" has often been used to refer only to people of African heritage. Today, it usually covers all/any peoples of African, Latino/Hispanic, Native American, Asian or Pacific Island descent, and its intent is to be inclusive)
