A different kind of PC
I came across a new politically-correct term this morning. Apparently now, if you wish to refer to a lady who is not white, you should refer to her as a "woman of color". (American spelling because obviously this sort of thing usually comes from the US, or at least, certain parts of the US.) You can abbreviate this term to its acronym, "woc".
I am amused to see that referring to someone as a "colored woman" is horrendously racist and evil, but referring to the same person as a "woman of color" is entirely acceptable.
I am similarly amused to see that referring to someone as a "woc" is politically correct, but referring to the same person as a "wog" would be horrendously racist and evil. I genuinely look forward to seeing some earnest social justice type trying to be PC and saying "woc" being misheard as saying "wog" and subsequently being ostracised.
I can never decide if the people who make these rules are stupid or evil. Maybe some are stupid, some are evil. Maybe some are both.
