LA Film Festival submission asks "number of colored people" and the ethnicity of the director, producer, screenwriter

It says "People of color." How is "people of color" racially charged? In the picture attached, you can see it gives a drop down menu to "select" what "people of color" there are. If the answer is even "one," is that NOT asking how many 'people of color' there are?

I was referred to the use "colored" in your title. Here's how it's different:

The term person of color (plural: people of color, persons of color; sometimes abbreviated POC)[1] is used primarily in the United States to describe any person who is not white. The term encompasses all non-white peoples, emphasizing common experiences of systemic racism.[2][3] The term may also be used with other collective categories of people such as communities of color, men of color, and women of color.[4] The term is not equivalent in use to the term colored, which was previously used in the United States to refer to African Americans only

What difference does it make what fucking exact terms are in there, THEY'RE STILL ASKING ABOUT ETHNICITY and it should have absolutely nothing to do with submitting a work of art.

I was pretty clear that I agreed with you that it was strange (but it depends on context)

Keep deflecting though, please.

There's no need to get defensive. What exactly am I deflecting?
