Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edit to Miles Morales, as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept uncited material. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here.

Whether the phrase "person of color" is technically inaccurate by way of definition, it is not inaccurate by way of usage, since that term that is commonly used, whereas "person of melanin" is not. While what you say is true about the word "color", this merely reflects the fact that human language is often characterized by idiosyncracies and contradictions. Moreover, Caucasians have melanin too. Bottom line: We cannot just introduce our own neologisms -- or those of others -- if they are do not represent commonly used language, or adhere to policies including WP:NPOV, WP:TONE, WP:WEASEL, WP:NOT; etc.

If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 22:31, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
