Wow. I would never have even recognized Allison. She looks great! That reminds me of showing one of my newly-converted Adam friends a video of his Idol audition and she couldn't recognise him as the same guy she'd just seen with Queen.

POC = People/Person Of Color, which now seems to be more PC (politically correct) than African American or black and can include other non-white groups. okay, thanks!

I think a known gay man in the Judas role has a huge likelyhood of creating quite a controversy. The show is set to air on Easter Sunday, arguably the holiest day in Christian religion. Thanks to the current administration with a very devoted evangelical VP and a president that is willing to exploit the ultra conservative religious right, there is a big rise in the visibility and influence of fundamental Christian population. LBGT rights as well as the rights of POC and women are under attack in the US. Casting a gay man as Judas has the potential to be another kneeling for the National Anthem moment, a deliberately misdirected controversy created to divide the country. So the question becomes does the network cast the best candidate available or the one least likely to cause backlash. POC?? Um. I'm Black and haven't heard that one before. POC? LOL!!!!

People of color is about all that’s used now on news shows. Covers anyone not white.

In Germany they tried to establish "strongly pigmented fellow citizen" as the pc word...like ...as a white person I'm probably too ignorant to this issue but that just sounded weird to me...

Can't lump everyone in the same pot because they are non-white as it seems to be another division and we already have enough exclusion going on.

Pretty sure it was invented to explain our current president's "policies."
