of color
語源
Attested since the late 1700s,[1][2] initially in reference to a category of mixed-race (partially black, partially white) people in the Americas; compare French de couleur (attested since at least 1779 in gens de couleur),[3] Spanish de color. The phrase continued in occasional use throughout the 1800s and 1900s[3][4] and was used by e.g. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1963,[5] around which time its modern meaning began to take shape.[5] Use by black activists picked up from the 1970s (e.g. black women who used "women of color" at the National Women's Conference in 1977)[6] onward, reaching wide circulation by the 1990s.[1]

使用する際の注意点
Placed immediately after the noun, e.g. a writer of color, students of color, communities of color. The term was popularized as an alternative to terms like nonwhite, which delineates its referents only in the negative.[7][8] Of color may be perceived as euphemistic.
