Auf den ersten Blick evtl. gewöhnungsbedürftig, scheint sich die wörtliche Übersetzung für "Black Community" seit dem "Blackout Tuesday" auf deutschsprachigen Nachrichtenseiten durchzusetzen.

Schwarze Menschen in Deutschland bezeichnen sich selbst offenbar so.
In Berlin gibt es einen gleichnamigen Verein.

Person of color

For the historic term for a non-white person, see Colored. For the Southern African ethnic group, see Coloureds.

The term "person of color" (plural: people of color, persons of color; sometimes abbreviated POC)[1] is today primarily used in the United States to describe any person who is not considered white, including in various points in US history, African-Americans, Latino-Americans, Asian-Americans, Native Americans, Native Hawaiians, Middle Eastern Americans[2] and others. The term emphasizes common experiences of systemic racism.[3][4] The term may also be used with other collective categories of people such as "communities of color", "men of color" (MOC), and "women of color" (WOC).[5] The term "colored" was originally equivalent in use to the term person of color, but usage of the appellation "colored" in the Southern United States gradually came to be restricted to "negroes",[6] and is now considered a racial pejorative.[7]

PEOPLE OF COLOUR VS. BLACK PEOPLE
CULTURE, EXPERIENCE, POLITICS

By Shannyce Adamson

A common misconception is that the term ‘people of colour (PoC)’ and ‘Black people’ are interchangeable when in fact they are not.

The phrase ‘people of colour’ is a representation of groups of people who are not white or of European parentage (Oxford Dictionary, 2019).

Racial terminology is daunting and sensitive, however, grouping people who are not white together i.e. African, Latino/Hispanic, Asians etc. under one umbrella may not necessarily be the path to improve racial relations, and is definitely not as progressive as it may sound.

The term ‘people of colour’ in a sense a ‘scapegoat’ that alludes to the idea of inclusivity without being so as it creates a ‘one size fits all’ approach when it comes to social justice which only serves to decentralise important issues within different ethnic groups because we don’t all suffer the same degree of injustice. The truth is, as much as each ethnic group faces their own challenges, some suffer more deeply from the effects of systematic oppression than others for a variety of factors. On one hand, it can be argued that the phrase ‘people of col

Thank you all for your replies. As this is a German language issue, I go with the Duden recommendations rather than with the terms people in the source language use. Thanks for 'PoC' Ulrich, I'll bear that in mind for future use. My client now agreed to use 'Afro-American' after all, so I'll go with that term.

Yes, but for this particular question I tried to adhere to what the asker was apparently asked for by her client.

Why do you want to be politically correct? The black community call themselves the black community, it is a world wide concept. If you use people of colour this includes everybody who is not Caucasian! In America, the black community is very specific to America, i.e. blacks who are African Americans. All the Africans I know here in the UK call themselves "black", not "people of colour"!
