white is literally the absence of color you dip
Charles Peterson
absence of light you daft cunt
Andrew Gonzalez
Their skin has melanin/pigmentation, which white skin is absent of.
Colton Peterson
Not the absence of color, rather absence of hue. You should be asking pic related.

Black is the combination of all colors. White is the absence of color.
Idiot.
Brandon Cook
Reflected color is different from emitted color. Additive white light is the presence of all color.
Jackson Thompson
This really made me think
Lincoln Stewart
In RGB terms, 0,0,0 is black and 255,255,255 is white

White people came up with the term to distinguish free blacks and slave blacks. Politically, it was used because black people came in different shades.

They aren't actually black in terms of color.

If black really is the absence of hue, why does Brazil have so many black people? Checkmate, racist.

"people of color" is an ethnic term that only excludes white people.
David Robinson
It's a codeword for people with a victim complex that tries to lump Latinos and Asians in with blacks when the former wouldn't normally associate with the latter at all. It's easy to exploit victims to use an army than it is to use people with actual self-respect who might demand dignity and agency.
It's like how LGBT includes the T even though it has fuck all to do with the others.

Why are Blacks considered "people of color" if they are not people?

White is a combination of every wavelength of white (or a combination of separate colors that average out to white). Black is absence of light.
I can see why you may thing it's the opposite, if you've only ever worked with subtractive blending, like what you get from the finger paints that they give you in kindergarten. You get black (actually dark brown) by mixing all colors of paint because pigments don't add light to the substance they're mixed with, they remove it.
But if you shine light of two colors onto the same spot, you get a different color that is the sum of their parts.
