PWOC

By Ethan Goffman

PWOC

POC stands for people of color. I am a person without color, or a PWOC. I am also odorless and tasteless. Like tofu, like an invisible gas, I have no history and no meaning. I am everywhere, stealing others' shapes and forms. I am the center of history, the core of meaning, democracy and the rule of law, civilization itself. I am colonialism, genocide, ecocide, barbarism. I am a concept that rules the Earth. I am PWOC. I do not exist, but I cannot be escaped.

Thanks for writing this. It goes to the heart of the PWOC’s constant race to control power over all people, governments, and laws, by any means possible throughout history!
