POC. "Colored person" is effectively a minor slur due to how it has been used historically.
I've heard people argue the whole "POC and colored person are the same because they sound similar!" thing, but it completely neglects the fact that whether a term is used derogatorily or not is more important for considering it a slur than just "how it sounds." You'd seldom, if ever, hear people use POC as a slur, but colored person, like you said, has been used as such.
Call people what they want to be called personally, but I’m not identifying all black anmericans and guessing who is and who is not a descendant of a slavery.
