A definition of a word that your audience doesn't understand is pointless. Language is defined from bottom up, not top down.
You'd better be nonwhite to be typing that second paragraph, because I'm not white either.
Telling me "everything is political" when my identity is politicized unfairly sounds more like an excuse for it than defending POC. You sound like you're making an excuse for culture warriors who bitch and moan whenever a non-white character shows up. LGBT people in my experience tend to correctly insist that their identities are not political. That makes more sense, it correctly puts the onus on the right wing assholes that politicized it.
Everything is political. You can't win an argument with a bigot by saying your identity is political, because it's not true. We have to erase the stigma against politics. And you're not helping with that.
