Cuts both ways. You’re right now word policing by saying that phrases like “people of color” doesn’t conform to how you want words to be used and it upsets your sensibilities.
And what’s the point of communicating if you aren’t going to make considerations about the people you’re communicating with? Just like to hear the sound of your own voice, or think the words you’re writing look pretty on your screen? If you want people to care about what you’re saying you need to make an effort to learn how to use words effectively. It’s not up to the rest of the world to conform to your word preferences.
