The way I've been taught is how the words define you. There is a similar discussion about whether to say "disabled people" or "people with a disability." The idea is, "people of colour" indicates you are a person first, and being coloured is a secondary feature. "Coloured people" indicates you are first defined as coloured, and as a person after the fact.
