Every character is a "person of color". Is there anyone without color?

Don't take phrases too literally - expressions develop their own current meanings

Ex: "co-ed" literally means boys & girls - but currently means just girls, so don't call a boy "co-ed"

"Gay" means happy, but be careful who ya call that

If you're white, don't call yourself a "person of color" unless you want some misunderstandings

Why the article didn't show the Manga pictures, or at least Naomi's character photo?

How many times does the Japanese media have to remind readers that Naomi has a Japanese mother and Haitian father. Does it really matter? I am sure the world know this.
