Reply To: What’ is a “Person of Color”?

I’m sorry, but what is affirmative action a euphemism for? I’ve only ever heard it used in its most literal definition: a law requiring less qualified blacks/women to be hired instead of more qualified white males.

Isn’t that what makes it a euphemism? I’m using the definition, “A euphemism is a generally innocuous word or expression used in place of one that may be found offensive or suggest something unpleasant.”
