        People in the cultural left in Europe often use this term in order to sensitively describe people who are (historically) discriminated because of their phenotypes. (E.g. Asians, latino, blacks, etc…)

        I know you are satirical, but you are also kinda correct. Non-POCs would typically be “whites” (at least in Europe) who are still privileged, going back (at least) since colonialism. (E.g. Nordic, alpine or mediterranean phenotypes")

      It’s obvious in the title that’s it’s not referring to this.

      I can’t say I’ve ever heard of POC referring to person of colour, but I guess people will latch on to anything these days
