this has nothing to do with the election

but today I was watching a rerun of Cavett on the retro channel. George Carlin in the early 1990s. His mind was razor sharp and he was brilliant. He was pretty much rapping serious with Cavett. He said why is it wrong to say colored people, but people of color is OK? I have always wondered that myself. There is no difference. He also pointed out Native Americans don't like that term. They prefer Indian.
