ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Person of colour

A person of color is someone who has a different skin color than what we normally see in our own families and friends. People come in many different colors, like brown, black, yellow or red. Some people with this different skin color face challenges and discrimination because of how they look, and may have experienced unfair treatment in their lives. We should all treat everyone with kindness and respect, no matter what they look like on the outside.
