NAACP literally stands for National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
There are actual real issues to get angry about. Pick your fights. This is literally another media concocted nothing-burger.

He probably meant to say, "people of color," but "accidentally" --or maybe on purpose-- slipped up as a signaling mechanism to his base.
That said, I am entirely on board with the idea that "POC" is a problematic term in the sense that all it is, is a socially acceptable inversion of "colored people," that still draws the same phony distinction between white people and everyone else.
I don't for a moment argue that there aren't valid reasons for talking about "racial" categories when it comes to things like diversity equity and inclusion, since those are the phony constructs upon which our society is built, rather, my point is that we need to move away from terminology that supports these phony distinctions, and that as such, using terms that basically mean "non-white," is a habit we should try to grow out of since they are based on phony bullshit ideas about race that don't actually have any currency in reality.
There is a set of people who are frequently subject to racism in the US. How should we refer to them?
The question should really be, how did everyone react to this? Yes one was upset, but there must be a good amount of people there, lets see their faces and what they did, let them show their true colors, not in the ads they sell, but their actions in this moment.
